Project final report: CRRP2018-06MY-Yanto

This project was designed to provide applicable information on hydroclimate extremes variability in space and time useful for policy development and capacity building to enhance societal resiliency to floods and droughts. The project has four broad objectives: 

  • analyze the space-time variability of extreme rainfall and temperature events and, the large scale climate drivers in the ocean-atmosphere-land system that drive control their variability,  
  • translate these understandings to hydrologic variability in space and time, 
  • investigate the variability of climate and hydrologic extremes in a warmer climate,  identify existing systems for managing floods and droughts in urban, agriculture and  water resources management contexts – and,  
  • develop strategies for adaptation and mitigation of hydroclimate extremes; also develop  a simple visualization tool to assist decision makers relating hydrologic extremes and  societal resiliency.  

This approach will be developed at two representative study regions – Serayu River Basin in  Indonesia and Krishna River Basin in India. 

In this reporting period, in accordance with the proposed activities and logical framework  matrix, we have obtained an understanding on spatial and temporal variability of rainfall and  temperature in the study area. Some results have been presented in the EGU Conference on  7 – 12 April 2019, in the Workshop and focus group discussion (FGD) in Hyderabad, India on 7 – 8 January 2020 and in Purbalingga, Indonesia on 9 – 12 August 2021. The manuscript for publication has been reformatted to take into account inputs from river basin  stakeholders.
