18 Summary! Coupled a global integrated assessment model (GCAM) in a one-way fashion with a land surface hydrology routing water resources management model (SCLM-MOSART-WM)! A spatial and temporal disaggregation approach is developed to downscale the annual regional water demand simulations into a daily time step and subbasin representation! The coupled framework demonstrates reasonable ability to represent the historical flow regulation and water supply over the Midwest (Missouri, Upper Mississippi, and Ohio)! Implications for future flow regulation, water supply, and supply deficit are investigated using climate change projections with the B1 and A2 emission scenarios, which affect both natural flow and water demand! The next step is to perform a two-way coupling (Experiment 2) over the entire U.S. 18
