| Summary |
Climate change is beginning to have effects on climate, weather and resource availability in ways that need to be anticipated when planning for the future. In particular, changes in rainfall patterns and temperature may impact the intensity or schedule of water availability.

These changes have the potential to impact the energy and other sectors, such as agriculture, and could have broader economic effects. Anticipatin |
