A multivariate-driven approach for disentangling the reduction in near-natural Iberian water resources post-1980
Although the literature still debates how several anthropogenic and natural factors have contributed to the recent streamflow decline in the Iberian Peninsula, a continuing decrease in winter precipitation (WP) has been noticed in this area since the 1980s and has been associated with large-scale at...

Although the literature still debates how several anthropogenic and natural factors have contributed to the recent streamflow decline in the Iberian Peninsula, a continuing decrease in winter precipitation (WP) has been noticed in this area since the 1980s and has been associated with large-scale atmospheric drivers. This contribution assesses the potential propagation of this WP deficit into water resource variability. For this purpose, the novel “NEar-Natural Water Inflows to REservoirs of Spain” (NENWIRES) dataset was created. The results highlight that higher decreases in winter water inflows (WWIs) are always related to WP reductions. However, while the decline in WP was strongly provoked by the enhancement of the North Atlantic Oscillation index (NAOi) during the study period, WWI reductions could not be essentially linked to the NAOi behaviour in several NENWIRES catchments. Instead, the intensification of drought conditions and forest extension promoted WWI decreases over the target area and aided in understanding why WWI reductions were generally higher than WP decreases. In summary, most humid catchments registered a WWI decline that was mainly promoted by NAOi enhancement, whereas the extension of forest and evapotranspiration increases seem to explain WWI losses in semi-arid environments. This contribution sheds light on the recent debate regarding the magnitude and drivers of water resource decline over southern European regions. |
