“Assessing Costs and Benefits of Adaptation: Methods and Data”
First Regional Training Workshop – Capacity Building Programme on the Economics of Adaptation
Bangkok, Thailand
11 Mar - 14 Mar 2013
Lec 2. Hydro-Economic Models in
Practice: Two Case Studies of
Model Design, Data and
Implementation
•
•
Case #1: Colorado River
Case #2: Rio Grande
Methods and Conceptual Approach
Model Basics
 Develop a schematic diagram of the watershed system
 Describes physical structure (tributaries, inflows, and
reservoirs
 Identifies and locates watershed services
 Show diversion points and instream uses
 Derive estimates for the model’s objective function
 Develop demand and supply curves for each service based on
water diversion or instream flow
 Describe model constraints
 Mass balance (upstream to downstream flow)
 Intertemporal storage in reservoirs
 Institutional flow restrictions
Colorado River Model (Upper Basin)
Colorado River Model (Lower Basin)
Outcomes: Colorado River
Watershed
 Projected hydrologic
and runoff changes
 Estimated changes
in runoff and
allocation in the
Lower Colorado
watershed
 Economic impacts
across the watershed

Objectives:
(1) Estimate the impacts of climate
change on agricultural diversity of
the Upper Rio Grande basin and
(2) Estimate the system’s
adaptability to climatic changes
through a hydro-economic
framework.

Water Use (af/yr)
 Urban water demands are most directly affected by population changes
 Income increases are assumed to have little direct effect on water demand because
increased demand for water services is offset by increased water-use efficiency

Streamflow Changes
 Streamflows were produced using WATBAL hydrologic model
 Conceptual rainfall-runoff model that works with the changes of temperature
and precipitation and easy to use model to assess climate change impacts on
river basins (Yates, 1996).
Climate Change and Crop Irrigation Productivity
 Shifted production function to the right due to higher Consumptive
Irrigation Requirement (CIR)
Results
 Changes in water allocation:

Crop Mix For MRGCD

Conclusions
 Agriculture can lose big share of its water consumption losing almost a third under 2080
GFDL0 (driest scenario).
 At the same time the economic impacts of climate change on the whole economy can
sum up to $175 million (12.6% of the total net benefits).
 Recreational sector loses 67% (highest percentage-wise) and agricultural sector loses
$160 million (highest dollar-wise) under 2080 GFDL0.
 In 2030’s small grain hay and corn silage are loser crops losing more than 60% and 50% of
their production under 2030 GFDL0, while pecans are the winners.
 In 2080’s potato joins the group of loser crops losing 50% of their total production while
crops like pecans, green chile and onions are the winner crops losing less than 15% of
their production.
