Mean runoff in the future - results from the Hydro-CH2018 project
This API provides data from the Hydro-CH2018 project on projected changes in mean runoff across Switzerland. It maps percentage changes in summer runoff toward the end of the century (2070-2099) relative to a 1981-2010 reference period, based on hydrological scenarios under RCP8.5, a scenario without climate change mitigation. Values represent the median across the modeled scenarios. The dataset is published by the Federal Office for the Environment (BAFU) under the Swiss Confederation, offering national-scale insight into anticipated hydrological shifts driven by climate change.The map shows the percentage changes in summer runoff towards the end of the century (2070-2099) compared to the reference period (1981 - 2010) as calculated in the hydrological scenarios Hydro-CH2018 for a scenario without climate change mitigation (RCP8.5). Shown in each case is the median of the…
