Precipitation extremes

Description

In recent decades, atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases and aerosols have increased mainly as a result of human activities. That increase leads to increased temperatures on Earth, which entails climate disruption. This indicator assesses the extent to which changes occur in the occurrence of periods of extreme precipitation in Belgium. After all, periods of extreme precipitation can lead to flooding, while long dry periods lead to the desiccation of ecosystems and the degradation of water resources.
