Abstract
Impacts of Climate Change on Hydrological Regime and Water Resources Management of the Narew River in Poland
Highlights
A climate change exerts both direct and indirect impacts on various sectors of the economy and society by affecting the biological and physical components of ecosystems, such as air, water, soil, and biodiversity
The daily data of air temperature, atmospheric precipitation for the Białystok climate station located within the Narew river and hydrological data such as flows and water levels observed in the Narew, Bondary and Strękowa Góra water level profiles were used to analyse the climate variability and their hydrological consequences
The analysis of hydrological parameters such as maximum water states and flows illustrates these changes to a lesser extent
Summary
A climate change exerts both direct and indirect impacts on various sectors of the economy and society by affecting the biological and physical components of ecosystems, such as air, water, soil, and biodiversity. The climate change is becoming more and more visible, and the process is constantly aggravating. It should be assumed that in the future they will be more visible and severely noticeable for society and the economy [Piniewski, 2014]. Increasing the air temperature near the Earth’s surface is a common phenomenon on a global scale, its intensity indicates spatial diversity. Increasing the global air temperature is conducive to the increase in the frequency and intensity of occurrence of many climate-related phenomena, which include extreme weather events, such as heat waves, rainstorms, storms, hail, tornadoes and sandstorms [Sadowski et al, 2013]
