weather is quite satisfactory. Comparison of mean monthly flows is given in Table 42<br />

196. Potential climate change impacts: climate change and climate variability will affect irrigated<br />

agriculture, installed power capacity, drought frequency and duration, flood frequency, water supply,<br />

and urban drainage.<br />

197. Approach and methodology: the calibrated SWAT model was used to run the climate<br />

change scenarios. For the analysis the weather conditions of the present and future have been<br />

provided by the IITM Pune 53 at daily interval and at a resolution of about 50 km. Simulated climate<br />

outputs from PRECIS for present (1961–1990, BL) near term (2021-2050, MC) and long term (2071-<br />

2098, EC) for A1B SRES scenario Boundary conditions for the RCM were from one realisation of the<br />

Hadley Centre HADCM3 QUMP (Quantifying Uncertainty in Model Predictions) ensemble (Q14).<br />

198. The SWAT model has been used to determine present water availability in space and time<br />

without incorporating any man made changes like dams, diversions, etc. The same framework was<br />

then used to predict the impact of climate change on the water resources with the assumption that the<br />

land use does not change over time. A total of 90 years of simulation was conducted; 30 years<br />

belonging to IPCC SRES A1B baseline (BL), 30 years belong to IPCC SRES A1B near term or mid-<br />

53 PRECIS (Providing Regional Climate for Impact Studies) is the Hadley Centre portable regional climate model,<br />

developed to run on a PC with a grid resolution of 0.44° x 0.44°. PRECIS simulation datasets is provided by<br />

the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, Pune
