Assessment Report (AR4) general circulation model (GCM) data directly or used a combination of AR4, statistically downscaled data, and basin-scale hydrological models driven by the future climate scenarios to assess temperature and precipitation changes and potential impacts on water resources planning in the region. Fewer studies have applied dynamical downscaling to assess regional climate change in the Southwest (e.g., Qian et al. 2010 ; Jin et al. 2011 ; Wi et al. 2012 ). Dynamical downscaling

precipitation for both short- and long-term planning. On seasonal and subseasonal time scales, reservoir operations are modified to accommodate precipitation and runoff forecasts. Longer-term regulations and planning for structural and operational safety of dams and other water management infrastructure are commonly based on theoretical estimates of probable maximum precipitation (PMP) that might fall during each season of the year. While reference documents and procedures have existed for decades to

In the case of the “sun, sea, and sand” tourist market, for many years the industry was dominated by tour operators that created holiday/travel packages conceived to be sold to end customers some months prior to the trip. Nowadays, the market has changed and a great majority of international tourists use the Internet to plan their trip and book some kind of tourism services ( IET 2013 ).

showed that this tool can be used on large-scale watersheds for land management planning with respect to water resources. Annual, spring, and summer runoff simulation results were consistent with observations from experimental paired watersheds. More simulation studies could be made to validate the predictive power of GIBSI for smaller deforested area, as well as for the long-term effects of vegetation growth. This could be coupled with an application on paired watersheds. Finally, the integration of
