changes in runoff, discharge seasonality and water
courses imply modifications in design assumptions
and changes in the operating environment of hydro‐
power plants and other hydrological infrastructure
such as bridges and roads.

temperature of the warmest month
is only 11 ◦C and the mean annual temperature is about 5 ◦C
(Einarsson, 1984). At present about 11 % of the country is
covered by glaciers (Björnsson and Pálsson, 2008). The Ice-
landic ice caps are temperate, characterized by high annual
mass turnover (1.5–3.0 m water equivalent (w.e.)) and are
highly dynamic. They are sensitive to climate variations and

supply (10) is not a new finding. Nevertheless,
sensible objections to discarding stationarity
have been raised. For a time, hydroclimate had
not demonstrably exited the envelope of natu-
ral variability and/or the effective range of
optimally operated infrastructure (11, 12).
