Abstract

Hydrological processes are an integral component of both global climate change arising from increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases and the assessment of subsequent terrestrial impacts. This article examines the potential sensivity of water resources in the UK to climatic change as exemplified by the 1988-92 drought. The representation of hydrological processes at three distinct model scales is then discussed with reference to global hydrology, regional downscaling and catchment-scale responses. A final section speculates on future directions of research for an emerging greenhouse hydrology.
