Extreme weather events like floods will become more frequent and severe due to climate change. In addition, major flooding can result from heavy rainfall during an extreme event in one or more sub-catchments in a large basin. Global climate change can further increase the intensity of extreme events and cause rises in sea level. Change of temperature, potential evaporation and rainfall are also the results of global climate change.
