چکیده انگلیسی
MAGICC model was used to simulate the climate parameters for Swaziland given the baseline conditions. Eleven GCMs were evaluated and three of them were found to simulate very well the observed precipitation for Swaziland. These GCMs are: the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL), the United Kingdom Transient Resalient (UKTR) and the Canadian Climate Change Equilibrium (CCC-EQ). The three GCMs were used to project the temperature and precipitation changes for Swaziland for year 2075. This information was used to generate the temperature, precipitation and potential evapotranspiration values for the three catchments for year 2075. This information was used as input data to a calibrated WatBall rainfall runoff model. Simulation results (after taking into consideration water use projections) show a water deficit from June to September in both the Komati and Ngwavuma catchments and a water deficit from May to September in the Mbuluzi catchment. Efficient water utilization in the agricultural sector (i.e., using drip irrigation) gives a water savings of 33.6Â ÃÂ 106Â m3per year (1.065Â m3/s), 47.6Â ÃÂ 106Â m3per year (1.509Â m3/s) and 16.8Â ÃÂ 106Â m3 per year (0.533Â m3/s) in the Komati, Mbuluzi and Ngwavuma catchments, respectively. The saved water could be used for other economic activities and meeting Swaziland's water release obligations to downstream riparian states of South Africa and Mozambique.
