Water resources of the Desna river basin under future climate

Climate change impact on water resources has been observed in Ukraine since the end of the 20th century. For now, only large-scale climate impact studies cover Ukraine's territory, having low credibility for a specific catchment. This study aims to calculate future changes in river discharge, w...

description Climate change impact on water resources has been observed in Ukraine since the end of the 20th century.
