| description | Climate change due to global warming is expected to play a role in determining the availability of water in years
to come. An understanding on the potential effects of climate change on the hydrology of a river basin is
important in preparing adaptability measures that will produce benefits even if climate does not change. For the
case of Sarawak River Basin, long term impacts of climate change on the local scale is still not clear. Thus, a
detailed study is needed and this paper aims at presenting the findings of a preliminary study on the rainfall
pattern for Sarawak River Basin done by the authors of this paper. The trends for temperature and evaporation
rate for a station in the basin are also presented. Some adaptability measures in preparing for the potential effects
of climate change for the basin will also be discussed. |
