Adaptive optimal allocation of water resources response to future water availability and water demand in the Han River basin, China

Abstract Global warming and anthropogenic changes can result in the heterogeneity of water availability in the spatiotemporal scale, which will further affect the allocation of water resources. A lot of researches have been devoted to examining the responses of water availability to global warming w...
