Case Studies

This chapter includes three case studies on climate changeClimate change impact assessment from the droughtDrought characterisation perspective, land use land cover (LULC)Land use land cover (LULC) impact analysis and uncertainty analysisUncertainty analysis. The case studies utilise widely used, state-of-the-art tools and techniques based on the theories discussed in the earlier chapters. Specifically, we discuss droughtDrought characterisation using Standardised Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI)Standardised precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI) under changing climate for the Indian mainland, analyse water balance components under LULCLand use land cover (LULC) change conditions using Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), and finally, uncertainty analysisUncertainty analysis of hydrologic modelHydrologic model simulationsSimulation of SWAT model using quantile mappingQuantile mapping.
