Abstract

Global change in river basins can be anticipated by using downscaled
scenarios. This approach is introduced in this chapter, and it is argued that scenarios
are a well-developed and suitable tool to explore the uncertain bandwidth of the
future states of river basins, their rivers and occupant societies. Quantitative and
qualitative scenario exercises are introduced and a worked-out example is presented
for the Scheldt river basin.
