Abstract

In Colombia, a country with great climatic diversity, the water balance is affected in one way or another by climate change depending on the region. Thus, there may be increases and decreases in precipitation and, in all cases, a huge increase in temperature. This document presents some studies carried out in different areas of the country regarding the effects of climate change on water resources, including its influence on hydroelectric power generation, some changes in the water balance in arid areas, and the opportunity to ensemble climate change scenarios. Likewise, it outlines a possible future water supply-demand relationship, where supply is associated with a change in the water balance and demand with some crops, activities, and sectors that need water to survive. This allows to estimate some future status indices to see the overall picture of climate change in connection with the country’s water resources.
气候变化对哥伦比亚水资源、指数和相关活动的影响
在哥伦比亚,一个气候非常多样化的国家,水平衡受到气候变化的这样或那样的影响,这取决于该地区。因此,降水可能会增加或减少,在所有情况下,温度都会大幅上升。本文件介绍了在国内不同地区开展的一些关于气候变化对水资源影响的研究,包括其对水力发电的影响、干旱地区水平衡的一些变化以及综合气候变化情景的机会。同样,它概述了未来可能的水供需关系,其中供应与水平衡的变化有关,需求与一些需要水来生存的作物、活动和部门有关。这样就可以估计出一些未来的状态指数,以了解气候变化与该国水资源之间的总体关系。

期刊介绍: The Australasian Journal of Water Resources ( AJWR) is a multi-disciplinary regional journal dedicated to scholarship, professional practice and discussion on water resources planning, management and policy. Its primary geographic focus is on Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands. Papers from outside this region will also be welcomed if they contribute to an understanding of water resources issues in the region. Such contributions could be due to innovations applicable to the Australasian water community, or where clear linkages between studies in other parts of the world are linked to important issues or water planning, management, development and policy challenges in Australasia. These could include papers on global issues where Australasian impacts are clearly identified.
