Abstract
The hydro-climatological approach of this volume illustrates the
scientific and practical value of considering hydrological phenomena
and processes in a climate context to improve understanding of
controls, process interaction, and past and future variability/change.
Contributions deal with understanding hydrological systems given
historic observed climate variability, or utilise climate models to proje
future climate scenarios and then assess the resultant hydrological
consequences. Human interventions – water storages, extraction,
irrigation, land-use change – i.e. the societal context, are also
considered. The interdisciplinary approach reveals information and
perspective that go beyond the study of cli ate and hydro gy alone
