Model Objectives
� Predict the impact of man-made changes & management practices
� Predict the impact of global warming
� water, sediment, nutrient and pesticide yields
� generate alternate scenarios
� conduct vulnerability assessment

Major inputs
� Weather � Daily Precipitation
� Max - Min Temperature
� Solar Radiation
� Wind Speed & Relative Humidity
� Terrain
� Landuse
� Soil

Crop Growth
� Generic model - Parameterized by plant database used by EPIC and WEPP
� Phenological Development - Daily heat unit accumulation
� Potential Growth - Interception of solar radiation (LAI, solar radiation)
� Growth Constraints - Water, temperature, nitrogen & phosphorous stress

Model Output
� Model outputs include all the water balance component at various levels i.e., basin, subbasin or watershed level and at intervals of daily, monthly or annual
� surface runoff� evapotranspiration� lateral flow� recharge� percolation� sediment yield� Nutrients

Initial National Communication to UNFCCC
� Coordinated by MoEF
� A large number of groups involved to undertake studies in various sectors
� Water Resources entrusted to IIT Delhi
� The communication has been made by the MoEF to UNFCC

Assumptions and Coarseness of the Data Used
� Daily RCM data not reconciled for its accuracy
� Landuse has been assumed to be same
� Water bodies including reservoirs could not be incorporated at this stage due to lack of data

Future Work Required
� Incorporation of the data on glaciers
� Mapping and incorporation of present manmade interventions
� Generation of coping strategies and scenarios
� Quantifying the uncertainties of the predictions
