In response, our study introduces a robust forecasting tool utilizing artificial neural networks (ANNs) to predict monthly precipitation over a 12-month horizon. We meticulously evaluated two normalization methods, ANN-SS and ANN-MM, and assessed four distinct approaches for selecting input variables (no selection, ANN-WO, ANN-CO, and ANN-VE) to optimize model performance. Our research contributes significantly to the field by addressing a critical gap in understanding the impact of evolving precipitation patterns on water resources. Among the innovations, this study uniquely focuses on medium-term precipitation forecasting, an aspect often marginalized in previous research. Noteworthy outcomes include correlation coefficients of 0.48 and 0.49 during the validation phase, particularly with the Endogen variables and correlation-optimized models using Min-Max normalization.

To reduce computational costs, this study selects representative GCM-runs (RGCM-runs) for Western North America (WNA) based on their performance in replicating historical climate conditions from 1981 to 2005 and projecting future changes from 1981–2010 to 2071–2100. This evaluation is conducted under two representative concentration pathways (RCPs) scenarios, RCP4.5 and RCP8.5, from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 5. By using an envelope-based selection technique and a multi-objective distance-based approach, we identify four RGCM-runs per RCP representing diverse climatic conditions, including wet-warm, wet-cold, dry-warm, and dry-cold. Compared to the full-set, these selected runs show a decreased mean absolute error (MAE) between the reference and RGCM-runs concerning the monthly average mean air temperature (<em>T̄</em>) and precipitation (<em>P̄</em>). For RCP4.5, <em>T̄</em> MAE is 0.45 (vs. 0.58 in the full-set) and <em>P̄</em> MAE is 0.31 (vs. 0.42). For RCP8.5, <em>T̄</em> MAE is 0.51 (vs. 0.75) and <em>P̄</em> MAE is 0.25 (vs. 0.36).

Therefore, it is very important, especially for decision-makers, to identify demand deficits due to less water availability with climate change that may occur in the existing water supply system in advance. FEHEM, a hydroeconomic optimization model of the integrated reservoir system of the Upper Euphrates Basin, which is the largest and main basin providing water flow to the Euphrates River, is developed. Using a 45-year historical hydrological dataset, water management and hydroelectric operations are evaluated with a linear programming model at monthly time steps. The effects of climate change on the Upper Euphrates Basin are evaluated under low and high carbon emission scenarios. According to the average of the different climate scenarios studied in the model, the average decrease in flows is 37.5%. With climate change, peak flows will occur about 1–2 months earlier on average. As a result of these hydrological changes, the total amount of energy production in the basin will decrease by about 54% and energy revenue by the same percentage.</p>","PeriodicalId":510893,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Water & Climate Change","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140009743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study was conducted to improve the long-term utilization of water resources in Andhra Pradesh. To accomplish this, the study attempts to estimate LULC change detection and its impact on water resources by analyzing the performance of the soil and water assessment tool (SWAT) model. From 2005 to 2021, the amount of cropland decreased while built-up land increased, indicating urban growth. The SWAT model identifies hydrological processes and assesses the temporal and spatial distribution of water resources in the watershed. Statistical parameters results reveal that a good match was found between actual and modeled flows with Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) and coefficient of determination (<em>R</em>²) greater than 0.75 for both calibration and validation periods. The area has average annual precipitation, surface runoff, water yield, and actual evapotranspiration of 949.96, 215.6, 469.24, and 429.15 mm, respectively.
