Abstract

A water balance model combined with the Priestley-Taylor method for computing potential evapotranspiration has been developed as an integrated tool for modelling the response of river basins to potential climate change. The system was designed in the EXCEL 5.0 spreadsheet environment making use of the Visual Basic programming language. The model is simple to use and takes advantage of IIASA's mean monthly hydrologic data base (Leemans & Cramer, 1991). The model environment and two case studies are described.
