英文摘要 | This study integrated climate projections from five global climate models (GCMs) into the soil and water assessment tool to evaluate the potential impact of climate alterations on the Rietspruit River sub-basin under two representative concentration pathways (RCP4.5 and 8.5). The model's performance was evaluated based on the coefficient of determination (R-2), percent bias (PBIAS), Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE), probability (P)-factor and correlation coefficient (R)-factor. Calibration results showed an R-2 of 0.62, NSE of 0.60, PBIAS of 20, P-factor of 0.86 and R-factor of 0.91, while validation produced an R-2 of 0.64, NSE of 0.61, PBIAS of 40 and P-factor of 0.85 and R-factor of 1.22. Precipitation is predicted to increase under both RCPs. Maximum temperature is projected to increase under both RCPs, with a major increase in the winter months. Minimum temperatures are projected to decrease under RCP4.5 in the near (-0.99 degrees C) and mid (-0.23 degrees C) futures, while the far future is projected to experience an increase of 0.14 degrees C. Precipitation and temperature changes correspond to increases in streamflow by an average of 53% (RCP4.5) and 47% (RCP8.5). These results indicate a need for an integrated approach in catchment water resource management amid potential climate and land use variations. |
