Project : Assessing the potential impacts of climate change on Belize’s water resources

Very little is known about the potential impacts of climate change on Belize’s water resources, despite this being identified as a priority area of research for the country. This project will use modeling to assess the potential impacts of climate change on the supply and demand for water and water quality in Belize across different climate change and land use scenarios and in so doing, will determine the hydrographic areas most vulnerable to climate change.
