Abstract: Impacts of climate change and climatic variability are evident in many parts of the world and will result in significant effects on water resources. Climate change studies inherently have to consider the significance of natural variability, future emissions, and downscaling methodology. Climate change threatens water management through changes in precipitation patterns and agricultural production through variable temperatures, and increased occurrences of extreme events, such as droughts and floods. This chapter presents a case study of Pichola Lake Basin. The objective of the case study is to assess the impact of climate change on a lake basin in an arid region in India for the various Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) SRES scenarios. Adaptation and mitigation techniques are of immense importance when tackling and eliminating or reducing the adverse effects of climate change to life and property. © 2016 American Society of Civil Engineers.
