A B Map 3 (A) Climate Change, Temperature. (B) emperature. (B) Climate Change, P Climate Change, Precipitation. recipitation. Based on HADCM3 general climate model using the SRES B2 (moderate emissions, climate change, and technological advancement) emissions scenario. HADCM3 is distributed as 2.5 x 3.5 decimal degree data, which could not be properly projected in a GIS without square grid cells. Cell values were distributed to points at 2.5 x 3.5 decimal degree cell centroids, which were interpolated, using the inverse distance weighted method, at a resolution of 0.5 decimal degrees. The interpolated data used here should not be taken to exactly represent HADCM3 projections, but do provide a reasonable cartographic representation of current HADCM3 climate change predictions. 82 — Hydropolitical Vulnerability and Resilience along International Waters: Latin America and the Caribbean
SOCIOECONOMIC AND GEOPOLITICAL PARAMETERS A B Map 4 (A) Projected P rojected Population Density: 2025. opulation Density: 2025. The 2025 population dataset is published at a cell size of 0.5 decimal degrees (DD), which places a size constraint for small basin analysis. The raster was resampled at 0.01 DD to overcome the deficiency. This disregards some of the assumptions of the original 0.5 DD cell size, but affords a tentative estimate of predicted population in small basins. Because small basins maintain less area, there is less area to smooth out data errors. Therefore, some basins, especially those with a relatively small area (less than 25,000 km 2 ), may have projected populations significantly lower or higher than they should be. (B) P (B) Projected W rojected Water Stress: 2025. ater Stress: 2025. Water stress is the amount of water available per capita. Water stress estimates do not account for spatial variability of water resources, nor for technological or other adaptations effecting how a given population manages water scarcity. The map’s calculation of water stress is based on renewable water supply defined by discharge, and does not consider groundwater extraction. Falkenmark ’s (1989) definition of water stress, calculates water supply based on renewable surface and groundwater flows. According to Falkenmark, a threshold value of 1000 cubic meters per person per year indicates a general point at which water shortages begin to chronically hamper economic development and human health and well-being in moderately developed nations.
