The management of water supply systems requires reliable estimation of water availability in a risk-based framework, with stochastic models playing a key role. It is now standard practice for water supply agencies to use stochastic models to generate synthetic hydroclimate sequences that preserve the key statistics contained in the observed/instrumental hydroclimate. However, such an approach is only adequate for determining current and future water supply risks if the quality and length of the observed/instrumental hydroclimate data is such that it captures the plausible range of impacts associated with climate variability and future climate change. The latest insights from palaeoclimate and climate change research suggest that this is unlikely to be the case because (i) it is highly likely that past (i.e. pre-instrumental record) droughts were more severe than those observed in the ~120 years of instrumental record and (ii) non-stationarity associated with anthropogenic climate change is projected to alter rainfall (and hence streamflow) characteristics. This presentation explores extending the current generation of stochastic hydroclimate models to better represent multi-decadal climate variability and the impact of anthropogenic climate change on future streamflow using climate change covariates. An urban water supply case study will illustrate the practical implications arising from use of the extended stochastic models. |
