Conceptualizing risk assessment framework for impacts of climate change on water resources [1]

This article offers an inventory of the risk of potential hazards to water resources and its implications to human and ecological receptors that may result from the climate change with special reference to India, a developing country. It is a study-based approach analysing various studies undertaken earlier in the field of risk assessment and works out afresh a framework on the basis of these studies to assess risk to water
resources as an outcome of climate change. A schematic framework has been prepared for characterization of risk components and for attempting risk assessment. This article has applied value for preliminary assessment of risk factors contributing to any
harm to water resources. This framework can also be applied to an assessment of risk vulnerability to smaller water bodies and to catchment-level studies. The study helps in conceptualizing an issue and leaves an open end from where this issue can be taken up for further research and applications.
