Climate change leads to modified hydro-meteorological regimes that influence the discharge behaviour of rivers. This has variable impacts on managed (anthropogenic) and unmanaged (natural) systems, depending on their sensitivity and vulnerability (ecology, economy, infrastructure, transport, energy production, water management, etc.). Therefore, decision makers in these contexts need adequate information (i.e. “informed options”) on potential future conditions to develop adaptation strategies in order to minimize adverse effects of climate change. The main research question of the RheinBlick20502 project is: What are the impacts of future climate change on discharge of the Rhine River and its major tributaries?
