Abstract

This project produced a comprehensive assessment of the impacts of climate change on reservoir water quality under a range of climatic scenarios. The aim of the project was to determine how risks will propagate and change with a changing climate. Risks to reservoir water quality include both those that are generated externally and enter during rain event inflows and those that are generated within the reservoir.
