The extreme climate events in this region have been some of th e most costly natural disasters in Canada history. Climate models suggest that this hydroclimatic variability could be amplified by global warming - presenting a more challenging future scenario than the projected shifts i n average conditions. To appreciate how global warming might affect the va riable hydroclimate of western Canada\, we first must understand the inter nal (natural) short-term variability. The long climate records indicate th at western water policy and management practices were established during a period of intense\, but not sustained drought\, and that adjustments may be required to sustain land and water use under a hydrologic regime that h as elements of previous regimes and global warming.
