Abstract
To develop a comprehensive and credible estimate of welfare changes to U.S. water users under alternative projections of climate change, the effect of simulated changes in runoff and demand parameters that vary across alternative scenarios of climate change on the economic value of water resources in the United States are determined. Determining the economic effects of climate change on U.S. water resources necessitates the development of Spatial Equilibrium economic models for several large water resources, use of climate sensitive results from simulated runoff models as inputs to the model, comparison of model results across alternative climate scenarios, extrapolation of economic welfare results to remaining U.S. water resource regions and estimation of aggregate impacts of climate change.
