Evaluate how the changes in the natural systems impact the above infrastructure sectors.
Assess the adaptation need of the infrastructure sectors and publish the results.

vies, 2008). Prudhomme and Davies (2008) analysed uncertainties
from natural variability, hydrological modelling, GCMs, emission

the largest source of uncertainty for estimation of future flows.
Similar finding have been made in other studies (Déqué et al.,
