Declining water resources in response to global warming and changes in atmospheric circulation patterns over southern Mediterranean France
Ongoing climate change and the likely increase of water demand threaten the availability of water resources over the coming decades. Drought indices like the Reconnaissance Drought Index (RDI) are increasingly used in climate characterization studies. In this study, we investigate the relationships between the RDI drought index, water discharge and four atmospheric teleconnection patterns (TPs) for six coastal river basins in southern France, both for the historical period of the last 60 years and for a worst-case climatic scenario (RCP 8.5) reaching the year 2100.
