  1. Predicting the Effect of Mountain Glacier Recession on Water Resources How have changes in glaciers affected water supply reliability in those parts of the world where streamflow dynamics are most affected by glacier sources? Project objectives Integration of glacier dynamic model with hydrology model (DHSVM) for prediction of runoff in partially glacierized river basin with receding glaciers. Evaluation and testing of integrated model in case study rivers to model the effects of ongoing and projected future glacier changes on water supply reliability. (WGMS, 2001)

  2. Implementation of coupled glacio-hydrologic model in selected glacerized basins • Upper Bow River basin in the Candian Rockies, Canada • Zongo glacier basin in the Cordillera Real, Bolivia (Chris Frans) • Llanganuco basin in the Cordillera Blanca, Peru (Pat Burns , OSU) • Dongkemadi glacier basin , Tibetan Plateau , China • Astore River basin , Western Himalayas, Pakistan Astore River basin Upper Bow River Dongkemadi basin Llanganuco basin Zongo basin
