This study presents interim results of an evaluation of a potential climate change impact on the preservation of drinking water demand provided by water reservoirs in the timeframe of the year 2050. Hydrological and water sources and demands balance procedures have been applied, including modelling of the storage ability of water resources and water supply systems. A potential climate change impact on hydrological characteristics and subsequently on the security of water demand has been evaluated in a total of 45 water reservoirs in the Czech Republic. A risk of insufficient supply of current drinking water abstraction requirements in climate change conditions has been identified in 17 of the evaluated water reservoirs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
