TL;DR: The authors reviewed the impact of anthropogenic climate change on water in the UK and looked at projections of future change, concluding that future changes in rainfall and evapotranspiration could lead to changed flow regimes and impacts on water quality, aquatic ecosystems and water availability.
A multimodel assessment of future climatological droughts in the United Kingdom
Jean-Philippe Vidal,Steven Wade +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed assessment of future rainfall drought patterns over the United Kingdom is presented, where bias-corrected high-resolution gridded precipitation time series are aggregated to the scale relevant for water resources management, in order to provide 21st-century time series for 183 hydrologic areas, as computed by six General Circulation Models (GCMs) under two emissions scenarios.

Multimodel projections of catchment-scale precipitation regime
Jean-Philippe Vidal,Steven Wade +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the uncertainty in catchment-scale precipitation scenarios due to the emissions scenario, the configuration of the GCM, and the downscaling method, and showed that both the down-scaling and multimodel building scheme applied have a significant impact on the seasonal precipitation regime that may in turn lead to quite different conclusions in impacts assessments.

A framework for developing high‐resolution multi‐model climate projections: 21st century scenarios for the UK
Jean-Philippe Vidal,Steven Wade +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a fine-scale gridded baseline climatology is proposed for building climate projections from an ensemble of global circulation models (GCMs) at the local scale required for impact studies.
