The findings, which suggest that flooding and the damage associated with it could also increase, have implications for water managers, urban planners, and emergency responders. The research results are also a concern for #agriculture, which is more productive when rainfall is spread more evenly over the growing season.
The research was supported by the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation, which is NCAR’s sponsor.
