  - As glaciers adjust their size in response to climate variations, long-term changes
    in meltwater production can be expected, affecting the local availability of water
    resources. We investigate glacier runoff in the period 1955–2016 in the Maipo
    River basin (4843 km2, 33.0–34.3∘ S, 69.8–70.5∘ W), in the semiarid Andes of Chile.
    The basin contains more than 800 glaciers, which cover 378 km2 in total (inventoried
    in 2000). We model the mass balance and runoff contribution of 26 glaciers with
    the physically oriented and fully distributed TOPKAPI (Topographic Kinematic Approximation
    and Integration)-ETH glacio-hydrological model and extrapolate the results to
    the entire basin. TOPKAPI-ETH is run at a daily time step using several glaciological
    and meteorological datasets, and its results are evaluated against streamflow
    records, remotely sensed snow cover, and geodetic mass balances for the periods
    1955–2000 and 2000–2013. Results show that in 1955–2016 glacier mass balance had
    a general decreasing trend as a basin average but also had differences between
    the main sub-catchments. Glacier volume decreased by one-fifth (from 18.6±4.5
    to 14.9±2.9 km3). Runoff from the initially glacierized areas was 177±25 mm yr−1
    (16±7 % of the total contributions to the basin), but it shows a decreasing sequence
    of maxima, which can be linked to the interplay between a decrease in precipitation
    since the 1980s and the reduction of ice melt. Glaciers in the Maipo River basin
    will continue retreating because they are not in equilibrium with the current
    climate. In a hypothetical constant climate scenario, glacier volume would reduce
    to 81±38 % of the year 2000 volume, and glacier runoff would be 78±30 % of the
    1955–2016 average. This would considerably decrease the drought mitigation capacity
    of the basin.@eng
