Multiple hydrological impact studies have assessed the hydrological consequences of climate change. Yet, especially in applied water management studies, often only one or a few GCMs are used and limited attention is given to the uncertainties present in future climate projections. Major investments for the implementation of adaptation measures are based on the outcomes of these overconfident and possibly biased assessments. In this thesis an extensive analysis of the inherent uncertainties present in the modeling chain of hydrological impact studies is conducted. In addition, future global hydrological changes are derived and methods for the interpretation of the accompanying uncertainties are explored. Uncertainty analysis The first step o...
