TL;DR: It is found that notwithstanding the clear warming that has occurred in China in recent decades, current understanding does not allow a clear assessment of the impact of anthropogenic climate change on China’s water resources and agriculture and therefore China's ability to feed its people.

Greenhouse-gas emissions from energy use in the water sector
TL;DR: In this article, a systematic review shows that the growing energy use and greenhouse-gas emissions from the water sector are under-recognized, suggesting the need for energy use to be further quantified and integrated into water resources management.

Effects of water-saving irrigation practices and drought resistant rice variety on greenhouse gas emissions from a no-till paddy in the central lowlands of China.
TL;DR: FWI irrigation strategy could be an effective option for simultaneously saving water and mitigating GWP without reducing rice yields using drought-resistant rice varieties, such as HY3.

James W. Jones,Gerrit Hoogenboom,Cheryl H. Porter,Kenneth J. Boote,William D. Batchelor,L. A. Hunt,Paul W. Wilkens,Upendra Singh,Arjan J. Gijsman,Joe T. Ritchie +9 more
TL;DR: The benefits of the new, re-designed DSSAT-CSM will provide considerable opportunities to its developers and others in the scientific community for greater cooperation in interdisciplinary research and in the application of knowledge to solve problems at field, farm, and higher levels.

A simple hydrologically based model of land surface water and energy fluxes for general circulation models
TL;DR: In this paper, a generalization of the single soil layer variable infiltration capacity (VIC) land surface hydrological model previously implemented in the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) general circulation model (GCM) is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrologic Implications of Dynamical and Statistical Approaches to Downscaling Climate Model Outputs
TL;DR: In this article, six approaches for downscaling climate model outputs for use in hydrologic simulation were evaluated, with particular emphasis on each method's ability to produce precipitation and other variables used to drive a macro-scale hydrology model applied at much higher spatial resolution than the climate model.

The Effects of Climate Change on the Hydrology and Water Resources of the Colorado River Basin
Niklas S. Christensen,Andrew W. Wood,Nathalie Voisin,Dennis P. Lettenmaier,Richard N. Palmer +4 more
TL;DR: The potential effects of climate change on the hydrology and water resources of the Colorado River basin are assessed by comparing simulated hydrologic and water resource scenarios derived from downscaled climate simulations of the U.S. Department of Energy/National Center for Atmospheric Research Parallel Climate Model (PCM) to scenarios driven by observed historical (1950-1999) climate as discussed by the authors.
