Investigating the Influence of Changing Climate Patterns on Seasonal Water Availability Within Transboundary River Systems
Abstract: Climate change is significantly altering hydrological systems, particularly in transboundary river basins, which are crucial for regional economies, ecosystems, and human well-being. Variations in precipitation patterns, temperature fluctuations, and altered snowmelt are increasing the unpredictability of seasonal water availability, intensifying risks of both water scarcity and flooding. These shifts pose severe challenges to water management, often leading to disputes and complicating regional cooperation among riparian nations. This study investigates the …
