Abstract
This talk provides an overview of research that seeks to understand how water quantity and quality respond to climate and other drivers of change.
Such hydrological knowledge is imperative to unravel interacting processes, to assess uncertainties in space-time projections, and to develop sustainable water policies and adaptation strategies for the betterment of ecosystems and society in a changing world.
