Combined with monsoon-dominated precipitation regimes, the amount of water generated is particularly vast. As well, HMA has a large volume of water stored as glacier ice. Studies worldwide show that recent increasing temperature trends are stronger for mountainous regions than for other land surfaces. The thesis summarizes current research, discusses hydrological and climate modelling and focuses on changes in overall water availability, seasonal shifts in runoff generation, and changes in the frequency and magnitude of hydrological extremes in High Mountain Asia.application/pdfenHYDROLOGYHIMALAYAWATER SUPPLYCLIMATE DATACLIMATE MODELLINGDATA COLLECTIONMETEOROLOGICAL STATIONSGLACIERSDOWNSCALINGRUNOFF WATERSEASONAL FLUCTUATIONSSOUTH ASIAFAR EAST ASIAThesis
