Abstract: This study examines the impact of climate change on water temperature in Soyang Reservoir, South Korea, crucial for effective water management. Through simulations spanning 2016 to 2070, diverse climate scenarios are integrated, revealing rising temperatures and variability. Notable observations include differing temperature increases between RCP 4.5 and 8.5 scenarios, influencing water temperature stratification. Stratification strength projections highlight potential impacts on aquatic ecosystems. These findings emphasize the importance of accurate temperature predictions amidst uncertainty, particularly regarding water quality and ecosystem dynamics in the face of climate change.
