Abstract
The accompanying article described recent climate changes in British Columbia. These changes are likely to result in adjustments in watershed hydrology and ultimately in our use of water-related resources. Increased risks of droughts, floods, and landslides will likely result in considerable socio-economic, biological, and physical changes. Future climate change will bring about greater changes and challenge our management of forest and range resources (Spittlehouse and Stewart 2003). To adapt to and in some cases mitigate the effects of climate change, it is necessary to understand the hydrologic implications for the future. This article (Part II) discusses eight broad hydrologic implications of climate change in British Columbia.
