Assess the impacts of climate change on future drought patterns and seasonal water availability in a representative German low mountain range catchment through 2100.
Simulated climate indices, drought indices, and climatic water balance across future horizons through 2100 compared to a reference baseline.
Utilized a Germany-wide, bias-adjusted, regionalized dataset at the catchment level under high-emission (RCP8.5) and mitigation (RCP2.6) scenarios.
Catchment warming exceeded national averages, projecting an average of 44 annual heat days in the late century under RCP8.5.
Dry period duration increased by 68%, intensifying summer and autumn water stress despite projected increases in winter precipitation.
