  abstract = {{T}he {S}eine {R}iver {B}asin has to face major issues on water resources due to a variety of uses and increasing pressure. {S}atisfying these water needs is a huge challenge on this basin that hosts the most urbanized and densely populated area in {F}rance: more than 6.5 millions inhabitants in the {P}aris region are supplied with drinkable water coming from rivers while one nuclear power plant and two coal-fired plants ensure power generation in the region. {F}urthermore, several large wastewater treatment plants (incl. the largest one in {E}urope) release their waters into the {S}eine, with possible consequences on the quality of water during low flows. {T}he {S}eine {G}rands {L}acs basin authority owns and manages four large artificial reservoirs on the river {S}eine and its tributaries (totaling a capacity of 800 hm(3)) with two main goals: flood alleviation and low-flow augmentation. {T}he {CLIMAWARE} research project (2010-2014) characterized the impacts of climate change on flows of the {S}eine {R}iver {B}asin and on reservoir management by mid-21st century. {P}erformance indicators representative of the tension on water resources were calculated to assess the impact of climate change. {V}arious adaptation measures were tested including the modification of the objective seasonal filling curves, as well as modifications of the real-time management techniques. {A}daptation measures can bring some improvements, but even with this adaptive management, the indicators show that the impacts of climate change on low flows will be major on the basin.},
