Abstract

Climate change Water availability Water uses Climatic model bias Quito Tropical mountains

Water managers rely on regional climatic models to plan future strategies. We found strong biases in climatic model predictions compared to observed data. • Regional models are inappropriate to inform water planning to face climate change. We need to improve monitoring and ecohydrological knowledge in tropical regions.
