A companion paper in this Special Issue reviewed the development of a hydrological model
of the Silala River basin, using long‐term data (1969–1992) to determine the basin's water …

Drought is one of the most frequent natural disasters occurring in Pakistan and has a great
influence on livelihood, agriculture, and economy. The availability of longterm high-quality …

Seasonal melting of glaciers and snow from the western Third Pole (TP) plays important role
in sustaining water supplies downstream. However, the future water availability of the …

Climate change is recognized as one of the greatest challenges of 21st century. This study
investigated climate and hydrological regimes of the high-altitude Indus basin for the …

Hydrological models play a key role in simulating and assessing climate and land use/cover
(LULC) change impacts on hydrology in a watershed. In this study, the impact of climate and …

Considerable uncertainties are associated with precipitation characteristics over the western
Himalayan region (WHR). These are due to typically small-scale but high-intensity storms …

Western disturbances (WDs) are synoptic-scale weather systems embedded within the
subtropical westerly jet. Manifesting as upper-level troughs often associated with a lower …

Snow cover is highly critical for global water and energy cycles because of its wide areal
extent, high reflectivity and good thermal insulation. Knowledge of snow conditions, eg …

The selection of future climate change scenarios may have issues in representing the full
spectrum of climate projections in glacierized mountain regions, where glaciers play an …

Abstract Winter (December to March) precipitation is vital to the agriculture and water
security of the Western Himalaya. This precipitation is largely brought to the region by …
