Historical changes in water use in Czech third-order catchments and indications of potential trends based on new regional climate models by the CHMI
The article presents the results of the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute (CHMI) obtained when addressing the sub-objectives “Scenarios of future water needs for different climate scenarios and individual sectors of water use” (DC 1.1) and “Identification of areas with deficient water resources” (DC 1.2), which are part of TA CR project No. SS02030027 “Water systems and water management in the Czech Republic in conditions of climate change (Water Centre)” and constitute specific tasks within the work package WP1 focusing on the future of water. The aim of the CHMI was to calculate and analyse how river flows upstream of gauging stations in Czechia are influenced by water use and to determine how this influence may change in relation to climate change.
