Abstract
Water resources in the Santa basin in the Peruvian Andes are increasingly under pressure from climate change and population increases. Impacts of temperature-driven glacier retreat on stream flow are better studied than those from precipitation changes, yet present and future water resources are mostly dependent on precipitation which is more difficult to predict with climate models. This study combines a broad range of projections from climate models with a hydrological model (WaterWorld), showing a general trend towards an increase in water availability due to precipitation increases over the basin. However, high uncertainties in these projections necessitate the need for basin-wide policies aimed at increased adaptability.
