Assess the vulnerability of climate change in Krishna river basin of Andhra Pradesh

Abstract: 

Climate change is essentially a long term phenomenon and is supposed to be gradual in its impact for most part. Integrated assessment combining insights of many disciplines is used as a primary tool in order to follow the causal chain of events from perturbations in the environment to the final outcomes. This can be done by first assessing the vulnerability of different regions to climatic change and then quantifying its impact on agriculture using the long term data. The present paper applies a statistical methodology to rank the districts of Krishna river basin in terms of vulnerability and to classify them into different levels of vulnerability by constructing composite vulnerability indices.
