Vulnerability Assessment of the watershed

Exposure Degree of

Sensitivity of the System

Degree of the adaptive capacity

Vulnerability of the area

Downstream area

Flood High-As it is a closed watershed, runoff water from hilly areas drained and accumulated in downstream area.

High-downstream area is very sensitive to flood.

Low-suggested adaptation measures can only upgrade the system partially, and these options are costly.

High

Water sources

Drought High-Groundwater that forms the main water source is directly affected by the precipitation quantity.

High-summer water needs already greater than production, and many regulatory problems face groundwater abstraction.

Medium-There is ability to regulate groundwater exploitation. Some upgrade measures by now adopted but it is not enough.

High

Plantation area and infrastructure

Frost wave

Medium-The area suffers repeatedly from frost wave in winter months causing severe impacts on the area.

Medium-Impacts magnitude and affected areas change from year to year.

Low- Some upgrades already adopted, but needs some modifications. Negative impacts mostly limited to some crops.

Medium

Wind storm

Medium-Unpredicted windstorms mostly cause damage of crops, and infrastructure.

Medium-there is ability to upgrade the system by improving of the system, but it is considered costly for some people.

Medium-some modifications can be applied to reduce the impacts. Medium
