Human migration takes many forms and can be considered a consequence and impact of climate change and an adaptation response . Projections indicate a potentially substantial increase in internal and international displacement due to water-related climate risks . In the context of water- related adaptation, short-term migration as an income diversification approach is commonly documented. However, permanent relocation and fundamental changes to livelihoods are more transformational and yet can be associated with tangible and intangible losses . In the context of climate-induced hydrological change, increased vulnerability among migrants and the risk of trapped populations poses significant additional risks. However, quantifications that disentangle different climate drivers and show specific risks emanating from hydrological change are unavailable .
