SPRINGERBRIEFS IN WATER SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY ...

The increase in GHG gases in the atmosphere due to expansions in industrial and vehicular
concentration is attributed to warming of the climate world wide. The resultant change in
climatic pattern can induce abnormalities in the hydrological cycle. As a result  the regular
functionality of river watersheds will also be affected. This Brief highlights a new
methodology to rank the watersheds in terms of its vulnerability to change in climate. This
Brief introduces a Vulnerability Index which will be directly proportional to the climatic
impacts of the watersheds. Analytical Hierarchy Process and Artificial Neural Networks are used
in a cascading manner to develop the model for prediction of the vulnerability index.
