2.3.2 Impact of climate change on hydrological regime: Mekong River’s tributaries
As CCAM climate model generated a snap shot of one decade climate condition
under different CO 2 concentration conditions, data on wettest year and driest year of the
decade were used for hydrological regime simulation, in order to analyze plausible range
of hydrological change under future climate condition. The simulation result from VIC
hydrological model, which focused on major Mekong River tributaries in Lao PDR and
Thailand, shows that most of the sub-basins tend to have higher discharge under impact
of climate change.
