Abstract: This study shows the 100-year-ahead projection of distributed information of the watershed environment and river disaster risks in the Yoshino River basin located in the Shikoku Island, Japan, using the super high resolution GCM outputs due to climate change with A1B scenario of the IPCC SRES AR4 as an input for physical based distributed river basin environment evaluation model (Hydro-BEAM). The obtained results will contribute anticipatory adaptation and integrated water resource management (IWRM) considering not only the impact of climate changes, but also the impact of human activities such as irrigation water use or reservoir operations.
