| Summary: | Indonesia is a country prone to climate change according to Global
Facility for Disaster Reduction with Climate Investment Funds and Climate
Change Team’s report on 2011. One of its effects is a decrease in its water
availability. Research on how big the effect of climate change on the
components of water needs in Indonesia is needed as a consideration for
adaptation and mitigation actions in the future.
The method used in this research is calculation of the Thornthwaite-
Mather water balance using Conformal Cubic Atmospheric Model climate
projection data with the RCP 4.5 scenario for 2001-2019 as baseline and
2021-2040 as projection periods.
This study shows an increase of 7 percent on temperature and 8 percent
on evapotranspiration in observation and model output data for 1976-
2017. In addition, there is a rise of water balance surplus of 14 percent
for the baseline (2001-2019) until the projection (2021-2040) indicating
climate change in Indonesia. |
