Objective and Outline
• Assess the impacts of climate change on three neighboring water supply systems
• Conclusions• Background• Method • Results• Response
![Page 3: Margaret Hahn and Dr. Richard Palmer University of Washington Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Climate Impacts on PNW Municipal Water](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032800/56649d3b5503460f94a15e55/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Conclusions• Climate impacts on the four basins’ hydrology are similar • Average percent difference in seasonal flows
– 2020 Winter : 28% 2020 Spring : -20%– 2040 Winter : 37% 2040 Spring : -31%
• Absolute average percent difference– Sultan : 31%– Tolt : 18%– Cedar : 36%– Green : 32%
• Average supply system impact is 15-17% increase in System Use (surface storage, groundwater and/or system shortfalls)
