1 L eau en montagne et le développement responsable : de nos attentes à nos actions sous le changement climatique Water in mountains and responsible development: from expectations to actions under climate change Carmen de Jong University of Savoy, France
2 AIMS What are our expectations concerning water resources under climate change? How does water use fit into the current issue of climate-neutral role models? Suggest how to best adapt to rapid climate and socio-economic change
3 Problem: climate change > in snow-line altitude < in reservoir levels
4 Water scarcity in dam reservoirs (lack of input discharge and/or extreme evaporation and over-use) Dried up Sylvenstein reservoir, Bavaria, April 2007
5 Distribution of dams in Europe, (Rödel and Hoffmann 2005 based on ICOLD database 1998)
6 Simulated Daily Average Flow (from Goldbergkees Glacier, Austria) total runoff icemelt runoff Q (m 3 s -1 ) April 15 May 14 June 14 July 13 Aug 12 Sept 2003 Koboltschnig 2009
7 Hydroelectric production in Austria GWh scenario A1B year
8 Problem: human pressures Water conflicts drinking water / tourism
9 Projection of water availability and water demand as a function of time Point of conflict Water demand Water availability climate change time de Jong 2009

13 The role of wetlands as carbon sinks - Wetlands act as carbon sinks (binding C0 2 ). - Under undisturbed conditions wetlands are the ONLY types of ecosystems that can continually and perennially store significant amounts of carbon through growth and peat development (Höper 2007). - In Alps, the total carbon stored in wetlands is estimated at > 4 million tons of carbon. - When drained or used, CO 2 and N 2 0 is released and the natural CH4 emissions are reduced. 13 Photo: de Jong 2009
14 The concept of carbon neutral Alps estimated CO 2 neutral zone / major carbon sink area 14 de Jong 2009

17 Man-made soil destruction releasing CO 2 approx tonnes of carbon released = annual emission of 500 EU citizens! Excavation of snow-making reservoir, French Alps (2008)

28 CONCLUSIONS Water Scarcity in Mountains (especially Alps) is already a problem in certain hotpots over space and time and is expected to become a crucial issue in the future The potential of climate-neutral Alps is high and will require re-thinking water use, re-use and protection of water resources using interdisciplinary approaches of diversification Transboundary water management plans supported by EU funding, labelling and regulations have to be rapidly put into place and extended
