Analysis of Changes in Water Use Under Regional Climate Change Scenarios
Analysis of Changes in Water Use Under Regional Climate Change Scenarios Client: WaterRF Location: Denver, CO Hazen and Sawyer was lead investigator in Water Research Foundation project 4263, which focused on simulating the impacts of alternative climate change scenarios on the municipal water demands of several North American water providers. A foremost goal of this project was to increase the adaptive capacity of water utilities in planning for and responding to climate change pressures.Case study utilities participating in WaterRF Project #4263, Analysis of Changes in Water Use under Regional Climate Change Scenarios. Downscaled projected climate scenarios, such as those available from CMIP5, estimate local-scale climate change characteristics from coarse-scale models and climate forc
