In 2006 the Dutch meteorological service has updated the climate change scenarios for the Netherlands. FutureWater has made an update of a drought assessment in the area of waterboard “Hunze en Aa” using these scenarios. Major conclusion of the study is that the drought effects on agriculture are much more severe than for the old climate change scenarios.
