Abstract
The EXP-HYDRO model has been used to assess the impact of worst-case (RCP8.5) UKCP18 future climate change scenarios on streamflow in 585 UK and Irish catchments, to 2080. Within those catchments, 531 run-of-river hydropower abstractions have been identified. Mann-Kendall trend analysis has been used to quantify the impact of streamflow changes on abstraction characteristics, such as, number of days abstraction is possible and maximum abstraction is reached, and annual total abstraction. Nation-specific general abstraction licence variations have also been accounted for, allowing comparison.
