摘要
The Irawan Watershed in Puerto Princesa, Philippines, is an important resource that supports domestic, agricultural, and industrial water needs. This study applies the Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) model to project the impacts of climate change on future surface water availability, integrating the findings into an Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) framework. Using bias-corrected General Circulation Models (GCMs) under four shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs), this study examines scenarios from low to high emissions (SSP126, SSP245, SSP370, and SSP585) for the assessment of potential variations in water supply. The results indicate a significant vulnerability to water availability, especially under SSP370 and SSP585, where climate warming is pronounced, leading to significant reductions in streamflow. Conversely, SSP126 suggests relatively stable conditions with less pronounced hydrological changes. The study also explores the socioeconomic drivers that affect water demand, including population growth and land use changes that influence agricultural water needs. The findings underscore the urgency of using adaptive management strategies to conserve water resources in the face of these anticipated challenges. Key recommendations include optimizing water use efficiency in all sectors, establishing protective zones around natural ecosystems, implementing climate-resilient infrastructure, and promoting community engagement in water management. These measures are critical for enhancing water security and promoting sustainable development within the watershed, contributing to the broader goals of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6. This study offers decision-makers and resource managers an evidence-based framework for integrating hydrological modeling into IWRM, providing valuable insights to navigate the complexities of climate change and ensure the long- term sustainability of water resources in the Philippines.
