Abstract

In the CLIME project, a variety of analytical and modelling techniques were used to quantify the impact of climate change on lakes and reservoirs in Northern, Western and Central Europe. Chapters 3, 9, 11, 13 and 15 (this volume) describe some of the models used and Chapters 18, 19 and 20 the historical changes observed in the different regions. One issue, not addressed in these chapters, is the socio-economic consequences of the predicted changes in the quality of the water. Most of the lakes selected for intensive study were subject to a variety of human influences. Some, like Lake Erken in Sweden, are managed as water supplies. Others, like Lake Balaton in Hungary, are important tourist centres that contribute substantial amounts of revenue to the national budget (Várkuti et al., in press).
