  - "A fully distributed hydrological analysis at scales significant for water management
    for present-day, and\r\nprojected future climate conditions is presented for a
    catchment in the Alps. We selected the upper Rhone\r\nbasin (Switzerland) as a
    test case for understanding anthropogenic impacts including climate change on\r\nwater
    resources and flood risk in the Alpine area. The upper Rhone basin contains reservoirs,
    river diversions and irrigated areas offering the opportunity to study the interaction
    between climate change effects\r\nand hydraulic infrastructure. Anthropogenic
    disturbances of the flow regime were implemented in detail\r\nin the hydrological
    analysis. We downscaled climate model realizations using a methodology that\r\naccounts
    for the uncertainty in climate change projections related to the stochastic variability
    of precipitation and air temperature. We showed how climate change effects on
    streamflow propagate from high\r\nelevation headwater catchments to the river
    in the main valley by analyzing changes in several hydrological metrics and at
    various temporal scales across 297 control sections. Changes in the natural hydrological
    regime imposed by the existing hydraulic infrastructure are likely larger than
    climate change\r\nsignals expected by the middle of the 21st century in most of
    the river network. Despite a strong uncertainty induced by stochastic climate
    variability, we identified an elevational dependence of climate\r\nchange impacts
    with a severe reduction in streamflow due to the missing contribution of water
    from\r\nice melt at high-elevation and a dampened effect downstream. Reduced ice
    cover and ice melt are likely\r\nto have significant implications for hydropower
    production. The impacts can emerge without any additional climate warming. A decrease
    of August–September discharge and an increase of hourly and daily\r\nmaximum flows
    appear as plausible projected change for the most part of the catchment. However,
    it is\r\nunlikely that major changes in total runoff for the entire upper Rhone
    basin will occur in the next four\r\ndecades.@eng"
