CLIMATE CHANGE EFFECTS ON RIVER DISCHARGE-CASE STUDY SHESHPIR RIVER

Extended Abstract 1-Introduction Climate change is one of the big challenges of human and is accounted as a serious threat for the earth planet. Increasing global temperature will cause deep and wide changes in the climate and especially in the time and space of precipitation and storms. Many studies have approved the occurrence of these changes, and the amount and intensity of them. In most of studies, statistical models (based on historical data) or Atmosphere-Ocean General Circulation Models (AOGCM) determine the increase of carbon dioxide emissions and subsequent changes in air temperature and precipitation. Then the changes in river flow rate cased by climate change are calculated by using rainfall-runoff models. But many of these studies only
