Hydroclimatic Changes in the Marsyangdi River Basin, Central Himalaya Under CMIP6 Scenarios: Implications for the Water–Energy–Food–Ecosystem Nexus

open access: yesMeteorological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Under CMIP6 scenarios in the Marsyangdi River Basin, SWAT+ simulations show that warming and shifting precipitation diminish snowfall and cryospheric buffering, deepening pre‐monsoon flow deficits. This seasonal mismatch drives critical Water–Energy–Food–Ecosystem trade‐offs: dry‐season run‐of‐river hydropower generation drop, and increase in winter ...
