Eng.) - Asian Institute of Technology, 2017  aIn  case of Harirud  River  Basin,  temperature  and  precipitation  plays  a  significant  role  for climatology and hydrological regimes. Projected climate change and its effect on upper part of the basin which is covered by snow, puts an important role for operation  of Salma dam and having  continuous  and  secure  available  water  for  other  purposes  such  as hydropower production. Expected future changes and its output on inflow for generating hydropower at the newly inaugurated hydroelectric power plant is studied in this thesis. The study stands based on three RCMs and two RCPs (CCAM (ACCESS), CCAM (CNRM) and REMOO2009,RCP{u2019}s4.5  and  8.5).  Four  projecting  period  from  (2021-2099)  is  included  with  base  period  (1986-2005)  and  their  results  stands  on  changes  in  temperature  would  be more  than  the  global estimation. Shifting in precipitation timing and changes in rainfall pattern are obvious. HEC-HMS  models  used  for  projecting  runoff  to  Salma  reservoir.  Snow  is  one  of  the  continuous contributor to streamflow. The reservoir will experience more inflow in future and in the same way  some  years  of  less  rainfall with  less  streamflow.  HEC-ResSim  used  for  modeling hydropower generation from Salma dam. This runs on availability of water in the reservoir. In the other way, the fuel for running Salma dam depends on availability of rainfall. This plant will have some trends to produce the maximum designed hydroelectricity. The result of this thesis would help water managers and decision makers to be aware of future trends in terms of temperature and precipitation along with production of hydropower to generate a secure and sustainable plan for having a continues streamflow in Harirud River Basin. 0aClimatic changezAfghanistanzHarirud Basin 0aHydropowerzAfghanistanzHarirud Basin1 aBabel, Mukand Singh,eChairperson1 aShrestha, Sangam,eExamination Committee0 aDuc Hoang Nguyen,eExamination committee1 aAgarwal, Anshul,eExamination Committee 2 aAFG Western Basins Water Resources Management Project,eScholarship Donor2 aAIT Fellowship,eScholarship Donor2 aAsian Institute of Technology.tThesis ;vno.
