Impact of Climate Change and Consumptive Demands on the Performance of São Francisco River Reservoirs, Brazil

Abstract: Climate change in the coming decades could intensify extreme events such as severe droughts. Combined with the possible increase of water demands, these changes exert a great deal of pressure on the water systems. In order to confirm this assumption, a set of scenarios was proposed in this study to consider the combined impact of climate changes and the increase in water demand on the main multiple-use reservoirs of São Francisco River, Brazil. For this purpose, five CMIP6 climate models were used, considering… Show more

“…Removal of the vegetation cover causes soil erosion, which reduces the water retention capacity and consequently decreases the soil organic matter, leading to soil degradation, threatening biodiversity, and reducing plant biomass [15]. Furthermore, changes in land use and occupation are expected to occur in the semiarid region of the state of Pernambuco, either due to natural causes related to climate change or induced by the implementation of the São Francisco River Integration Project (PISF), also referred to as the São Francisco River Transboundary Project, with the hydrographic basins of the northern northeast [16,17]. The axes, branches, and pipelines were designed for human and animal water supplies and should also contribute to the expansion of the water supply in Pernambuco [18,19].…”
