Water use is increasing already regardless of climate change Total water use Annual planned release (Mm3)

31 Why water scarcity will not occur despite the impacts of climate change in scenario 1?? Reservoirs are quite large Seyhan:.88 billion m3 Catalan : 1.6 billion m3 Inflow volume Present: 5.5 billion m3 Future: 2.64 (MRI), 2.15 (CCSR) billion m3 Moreover, environmental flow from these reservoirs has not been introduced. They can store the water as possible as they want. There is very little flow at the down stream now especially in summer Sugestion2: Environmental flow from reservoirs should be taken into account. Some problems may be already taking place 31

32 Snow is key hydrologic variables in the basin Future: Impact on snow is large and inflow will decrease in April and May Present Snow melt sometimes lead to floods in early spring If snow amount is monitored in winter, it is possible to forecast the inflow in spring, and relatively easy to operate reservoirs for flood control and water resources. However, precipitation observation system has not been established in the basin Sugestion3: Meteorological observation system in mountain area should be developed immediately 32

33 Conclusions We developed an approach that uses dynamically downscaled data as inputs to hydrologic simulations and applied it to the Seyhan River Basin in Turkey. We assessed the impact of changes on the water resource systems of the basin. Suggestions to the basin Cropping pattern changes should be taken into account from now. Water use is increasing already regardless of climate change Environmental flow from reservoirs should be taken into account. Some problems may be already taking place Meteorological observation system in mountain area should be developed immediately CC studies are not only for future problems but also for present (existing) problems 33
