Implications of Climate Change for Water Resources Development in the Ganges Basin

Implications of Climate Change for Water Resources Development in the Ganges Basin

This paper presents the first basin-wide assessment of the potential impact of climate change on the hydrology and production of the Ganges system, undertaken as part of the World Bank’s Ganges Strategic Basin Assessment. A series of modeling effor...
