Abstract
Climate change is attracting more and more attention in recent years. In order to evaluate the impacts of climate change on future water supply, we developed HEC-5 model that can simulate the operation of off-stream reservoir under climate change scenarios. Our modeling results showed that with the coming climate changes, the yield of off-stream reservoir will decrease evidently, which might increase the risk of future water supply. However, these results are based on the predictions of climate change, which are highly uncertain at this stage.
