Implications of the KNMI'23 climate scenarios for the discharge of the Rhine and Meuse

This report summarizes the main implications of the latest generation of climate change scenarios on the discharge of the rivers Rhine and Meuse. The main focus of the report is: • The analysis and presentation of the effects of climate change on the river discharges of the Rhine and Meuse derived from the recently released KNMI’23 climate scenarios; • The comparison of the discharge projections for these rivers based on the new KNMI’23 climate scenarios with the prevailing projections based on the KNMI’14 climate scenarios; • Introduction of the KNMI’23 derived discharge time-series that are available for use in further impact assessments and research.
