dc.description.abstractThe climate of British Columbia is changing, and with these changes come many adjustments in watershed hydrology and ultimately in our use of water-related resources. For example, declining snowpacks are a concern because they affect many aspects of water resources, from instream flows for fish to community water supplies to soil moisture, ground water, and aquifer recharge (BCMOE 2007). Because British Columbia is hydrologically diverse, the local responses to the anticipated changes in precipitation and temperature will differ. As a guide to what might happen in the future, this article (Part I) summarizes historical temperature and precipitation trends and future climate scenarios for British Columbia. The accompanying article (Part II) discusses eight broad hydrologic implications of climate change in British Columbia.
