Future changes in hydro-climatic extremes in the Upper Indus, Ganges, and Brahmaputra River basins
Future hydrological extremes, such as floods and droughts, may pose serious threats for the livelihoods in the upstream domains of the Indus, Ganges, Brahmaputra. For this reason, the impacts of climate change on future hydrological extremes is investigated in these river basins. We use a fully-distributed cryospheric-hydrological model to simulate current and future hydrological fluxes and for...
متن کاملTrends and persistence in precipitation in the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna river basins
The Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna (GBM) river basins occupy about 1.75 x 10 km of the Himalayan region. More than half a billion people in Nepal, India, Bhutan and Bangladesh are directly or indirectly dependent on the water resources of the GBM rivers. These river basins are characterized by diversified climatic patterns. Analyses of trends and persistence in precipitation over these river ba...
متن کاملDifferential Heating in the Indian Ocean Differentially Modulates Precipitation in the Ganges and Brahmaputra Basins
Indo-Pacific sea surface temperature dynamics play a prominent role in Asian summer monsoon variability. Two interactive climate modes of the Indo-Pacific—the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Indian Ocean dipole mode—modulate the amount of precipitation over India, in addition to precipitation over Africa, Indonesia, and Australia. However, this modulation is not spatially uniform. T...

متن کاملAn Assessment of Crop Water Productivity in the Indus and Ganges River Basins: Current Status and Scope for Improvement
Research Reports The publications in this series cover a wide range of subjects—from computer modeling to experience with water user associations—and vary in content from directly applicable research to more basic studies, on which applied work ultimately depends. Some research reports are narrowly focused, analytical and detailed empirical studies; others are wide-ranging and synthetic overvie...
