Abstract
- They showed increases in future projections of precipitation, streamflow, maximum and minimum temperature across the basin based on a hydrological model driven by bias-adjusted CMIP6 GCM simulations. Summary of This Special Issue Precipitation is a main driver of hydrologic extremes, and future changes in precipitation indices can be expected to have implications on both floods and droughts. With the increases in the intensity of extreme precipitation, persistent low precipitation and evaporative water demand at different spatial and temporal scales, hydrologic extremes (floods and droughts) have become more likely and more severe in many regions [[1]]. The intensification of global water cycle, associated with anthropogenic climate change, is affecting the characteristics of hydrologic extreme events throughout the world.
