The report presents the results of research on the climatic impacts on drinking water supplies for the city of Ashgabat, as well as on agriculture and water management in Dashoguz velayat.
The authors have modeled possible climate changes until 2100 for two regions of the country. The data presented in this report could be useful for the state authorities in Turkmenistan when developing national and sector-specific development plans and programs. It can also be helpful for academic institutions and representatives of the private sector when planning adaptation measures. /// nCa, 28 August 2024
