Assessment of climate change impact on streamflow in the Chaliyar basin

In this study, a general methodology is presented in order to use the downscaled output from a RCM (Regional Climate Models) directly in a hydrologic model for evaluating the impact of climate change on water resources. The hydrologic model used is the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT). The study area is a part of the Chaliyar River Basin in Kerala, India.
