Impact of climate change on water availability in the Oueme catchment at the outlet of the Save's bridge (Benin, West Africa)

<p>One of the major threats to water resources today remains climate change. The objective of this study is to assess the impact of climate change on water availability in Oueme catchment at Savè. Precipitation provided by three regional climate models (RCMs) was analyzed. Bias in these data w...
