    Hydrological impacts of Climate Change in Bhutan : Preparing a Climate Rationale for the Green Climate Fund

    Understanding the impact of climate change on water resources is crucial for selecting adequate adaptation strategies at a local scale. Global meteorological re-analysis datasets are useful to evaluate current-day climate conditions and trends, as a first step in a climate change assessment in poorly gauged basins. However, these datasets often…

    Robust hinterland connections in times of drought and heat : subproject 2 of NWO-project “Extreme droughts and the Dutch water sector: impacts and adaptation”

    The increased occurrence of extreme drought impacts the inland waterways in the Netherlands and beyond, leading to reduced river navigability and thereby resulting in high additional costs for the inland waterways logistics sector. In this report we explore knowledge gaps and adaptation options for the sector, to ensure more robust hinterland…
