than can be expected to originate from the cauldrons, three to four times the wa-
ter equivalent of the accumulation of snow over the watershed of the cauldrons. It has
been estimated that flow from the cauldrons, in addition to the jökulhlaups, could be
2–5 m3 s 1 at maximum (Vatnaskil, 2005). It is possible that part of the sulfate-rich
groundwater from the glacier comes from the cauldrons

is stimulated in areas with enough water, supported
by additional storage capacity and irrigation systems. By 2050,
water supply for agriculture is secured. Closely linked to this is an
improved efciency for industry. A changed industrial policy aims
to get basic production back in the EU and works on
diversication. This triggers tensions between the aim for
reduced water use and the overall increase

of these,
global warming was ranked ninth (based upon the percentage of respondents who
worried about it ‘a great deal’ in comparison to the other environmental concerns).
This trend has been fairly consistent (Brechin, 2003, p. 113). According to the EB
58.0 of 2002, the most worrying environmental risks for most European respondents
were associated with nuclear power and radioactive waste, and industrial/media/loftslag/Lorenzoni_Pidgeon_2006.pdf
Most of the heatstroke deaths reported have been associated with occupational exposure at construction
sites, agricultural settings, and hot industrial jobs requiring heavy work. In addition, outdoor urban workers
may also be exposed to additional heat stress as a result of the ‘urban heat island effect’ of the urban built
environments. The research includes field studies of work places in India

and a valuable source of water for the socio-economically important
parts of the basin. The Rhine’s water resources and land area are mainly used for industrial
and agricultural purposes, for the generation of energy, for the disposal of municipal
wastewater, for recreational activities, and for providing drinking water. The main issues in
the Rhine basin are pollution and flooding. From being

2005 until 2100 and select two periods as
a focus of this study; the mid-century (2041-2060) and the late-century (2081-2100).
Furthermore, we choose RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 as emission scenarios. The numbers 4.5 and
8.5 indicated the possible radiative forcing in W/m2 in the year 2100 compared to pre-
industrial values, and are a measure of the strength of the anthropogenic greenhouse effect

future and by approximately 2–3°C towards the end of the century. The largest temperature
increase is expected during winter. Equivalent projections for the mean annual precipitation
show a small increase in the short term, becoming more pronounced in the long term. The
strongest positive precipitation response is seen during winter, whereas
