The effect of climate change on the simulated streamflow of six Canadian rivers based on the CanRCM4 regional climate model by V. K. Arora, A. Lima, R. Shrestha

“…Mean annual precipitation (<span class="inline-formula"><i>P</i></span>), evaporation (<span class="inline-formula"><i>E</i></span>), runoff (<span class="inline-formula"><i>R</i></span>), and temperature increase for all six river basins in both future scenarios considered here, and the increases are higher for the more fossil-fuel-intensive RCP 8.5 scenario. The only exception is the Nelson River basin, for which the simulated runoff increases are extremely small. …”
