Abstract: The Douro international region in Portugal is vulnerable to reduced water availability due to climate change. By using spatial data, it is possible to synthesize the hydrometeorological effects in the medium and long term on water storage volume. Given the importance of the Douro River for hydroelectric power generation in Portugal, it is crucial to ensure that adaptation strategies align with international agreements that provide guidelines for managing transboundary water resources.
