About article:
The article deals with the estimation of water balance components under a changing climate in selected catchments in Slovakia. Climate change has a significant impact on the hydrological cycle and water resources. In this research, the GIS-based, spatially distributed WetSpa rainfall-runoff model was used to simulate mean daily discharges in the outlet of the basin as well as the individual components of the water balance. The WetSpa model simulations are often used to evaluate the impact of changes on the generation of runoff and water balance. The parameters of the model were estimated using climate data and three digital map layers: a land-use map, soil map and digital elevation model. In this research, the KNMI and MPI regional models with SRES A1B (moderate) emission scenario were used. Outputs from the KNMI and MPI climate scenarios (as input data) were used to estimated future behavior of characteristics of water balance as an actual evapotranspiration and soil moisture. The results showed an increase of actual evapotranspiration and decrease of soil moisture in future horizons in comparison with the reference period of 1981–2010.
