- This paper developed an integrated modelling framework which implemented a new, gridded spatial weather generator, coupled with a rainfall-runoff model and water resource management simulation model. Unlike previous work, a new spatial weather generator, captured spatial variability of rainfall in large catchments to produce high-resolution catchment-wide precipitation simulations for the drought-prone Thames Basin. The study considered climate uncertainties as a driver of water resource availability, as well as evaluating uncertainties in future demand. Analysis and testing of effectiveness of different adaptation options to manage both the demand and supply of water resources were considered and evaluated.
