Analysis of outputs

A report discussing future projections of UK river flows impacted by water abstraction or discharge under different warming scenarios, up to 2080.

Hydrological modelling and artificial influences

This report presents the methods and modelling used to derive England-wide scenarios of Artificial Influence (AI)-impacted (through abstraction and discharge) river flows from 1980 to 2080 to support a national-scale assessment of future flow regimes and water resource scenarios.

Stakeholder engagement report

This report summarises the attendees, material presented, key outcomes and feedback gained from two online stakeholder events. These events were to inform key stakeholders of the modelling carried out to project future water resources for water intensive energy infrastructure, and to seek feedback.

Approaches to construct scenarios of future water demand

A literature review of future water demand projections in the UK, used to inform the formation of future water demand (abstraction and discharge) projections.
