1 River Discharge Projection in Indochina Peninsula under a Changing Climate Yasuto TACHIKAWA and Duc Toan DUONG 1

2 Research Purpose To project river discharge in the Indochina Peninsula region under a changing climate, then Examine the change of river discharge under a changing climate, and To find out river basins in the region where significant changes related to floods, droughts and water resources could happen.

16 Comparison of projected river discharge using MRI-AGCM3.2S

17 Change Ratio of Mean of Annual River Flow Near Future Climate to Present Climate Future Climate to Present Climate 17

18 Change Ratio of Mean of Annual Maximum Daily Flow Near Future Climate to Present Climate Future Climate to Present Climate 18

19 Change Ratio of Mean of Annual Minimum Daily Flow Near Future Climate to Present Climate Future Climate to Present Climate 19

20 Statistical Analysis of River Discharge Changes Testing hypotheses Null hypothesis H 0 : the is no significant difference between annual mean stream flow/mean of annual maximum daily stream flow/mean of annual minimum daily stream flow for the (near) future climate and the present climate. nf = p, f = p Alternative hypothesis H A : nf p, f p Significant level (probability of error) α = 0.05

21 Test for Statistical Significant Difference between Two Means For normally distributed data, the Welch correction t-test was used to test for statistical significant difference between means of two groups. For non-normally distributed data, the Mann-Whitney U-test was used to test for statistical significant difference between means of two groups.

35 Hypothetical typhoon experiment under a changing climate by Ishikawa et al. at DPRI, Kyoto University Control run Best truck Hypothetical typhoon experiment, initial locations of typhoon

36 Typhoon Vera (1959) simulation NHM-5km Best track Track ensemble (71 patterns) Central pressure

37 Typhoon Vera (1959) in future climate Central pressure drops = Intensification Applied for assessing worst-case scenarios: river discharge, flooding, high waves Central pressure

38 Discharge and inundation simulation under hypothetical typhoon data Design water level Design flood discharge

39 CONCLUSION A clear change in annual mean stream flow, mean of annual maximum daily stream flow and mean of annual minimum daily stream flow in the Indochina Peninsula region was detected. The degree of change differs from location to location. The changes appeared in near future climate experiment became clearer in the future climate experiment. The increase of flood risk and drought risk were found in Irrawaddy River Basin, Red River Basin and lower part of Mekong River Basin.

40 CONCLUSION To construct a prpper adaptive measure, we need information of change of a probability distribution of extreme flood characteristics, such as annual maximum discharge, and also a change of the probable maximum flood. Flood simulation using a hypothetical typhoon simulation helps to estimate a change of the probable maximum flood. To predict a change of a probability distribution of extreme flood characteristics, a proper bias correction method and a downscaling method are indispensable.

41 Appendix

42 Statistical Analysis of River Discharge Changes Data normality test The Shapiro-Wilk W test (Gilbert, 1987) was used for normality test. The W test statistic is calculated by W = k 1 n 1 s 2 a i x n i+1 x i i=1 where n is sample size; s is standard deviation; coefficient a i is function of n; x i is variable at rank i; and k is n/2 for even n and (n-1)/2 for odd n. If W < W cr, the data has a non-normal distribution. 2

44 Normality test result for the mean of the annual maximum stream flow data Present climate Near future climate Future climate

45 Normality test result for the mean of the annual minimum stream flow data Present climate Near future climate Future climate
