CS-N0W-D2 Task 5: Analysis of future scenarios D2 – Future water resources for water intensive energy infrastructure

Summary

This report analyzes future water availability for energy infrastructure in England, addressing the challenge of potential water scarcity driven by climate change and varying water demands. It employs hydrological modeling and climate projections across 626 catchments to predict river flows and drought characteristics up to 2080. The analysis, now completed and presented in this report, projects significant decreases in summer river flows and increases in drought severity, informing policymakers on strategies for sustainable water management.
