  • Floods in a Changing Climate: Hydrologic Modeling
    By P. P. Mujumdar, D. Nagesh Kumar

    Considerable variations in the probabilities of near-normal conditions and extreme drought are seen from years 2000–10 to 2040–50. The probability of near normal conditions is reduced, and that of extreme drought is increased ...
