“…Although this study mainly concentrated on investigating how the uncertainty of climate projections is propagated in streamflow projections, there are other sources of uncertainty, like uncertainties originating from downscaling methods, hydrological model structures and hydrological parameters, etc. Chen et al (2011) and Meaurio et al (2017) found that downscaling methods might also have a large contribution to the uncertainty in peak-flow projections, as different types of downscaling methods might lead to significantly different extreme high flows, and uncertainty in simulated extreme low flows is also critically impacted by hydrological model structures as well as calibration strategies (De Niel et al, 2019;Vansteenkiste et al, 2014;Velá zquez et al, 2013). Therefore, to obtain a comprehensive insight into projected changes of high flows and low flows and the uncertainty therein, all sources of uncertainty arising from scenarios, climate models, internal climate variability, downscaling methods, hydrological models and hydrological parameters can be considered in future studies.…”

“…A question arising is how these uncertainty sources in climate projections will affect future streamflow projections? In recent years, different sources of uncertainty in streamflow projections have also been investigated (Bosshard et al, 2013;De Niel et al, 2019). Vetter et al (2016) assessed different uncertainty sources in projections of hydrological changes using four RCPs, five GCMs and nine hydrological models (HMs), and concluded that GCMs generally resulted in the largest uncertainty contribution, followed by RCPs and HMs.…”

“…is cropland, 23% forest, 19% grass land, 19% urban and built-up area. Recently, (De Niel et al, 2018b) investigated the climate change impact on the catchments' hydrological extremes. They identified a minor uncertainty contribution by the hydrological models in the peak flow changes and therefore solely NAM, a lumped conceptual hydrological model for rainfall runoff simulation, is applied in this study (DHI, 2009;Nielsen and Hansen, 1973).…”

“…To minimize that potential impact, our society opts for two complementary strategies: climate mitigation and adaptation (IPCC, 2014). Consequently, vulnerability, impact and adaptation studies find ground in our society (Alfieri et al, 2016;Åström et al, 2016;Brekke et al, 2009;De Niel et al, 2018b;Termonia et al, 2018;Vansteenkiste et al, 2014a;Vermuyten et al, 2018;Willems, 2013). These studies require projected hydro-meteorological time series, using the output of global climate models as primary information.…”
