heal.abstract	Regional effects of greenhouse warming on water resources and water management systems are assessed for a mountainous region of central Greece, by using plausible hypothetical scenarios of temperature and precipitation change. Basin response is examined by focusing on surface runoff series generated by a monthly conceptual model sensitive to temperature and precipitation changes. Results indicate that certain basin morphoclimatic characteristics such as snow cover, basin aridity and morphology, runoff coefficient etc., modify basin response considerably. The operation of a hydropower generation system in the area is then simulated under the assumed climate change scenarios and new risk levels are estimated with respect to firm water and energy supply. Increase of reservoir storage volume is examined as a means to compensate for the increased probability of system failure owing to adverse climate scenarios.	en
