Effect of Climate Change on Urban Water System DesignYanina_Romero
This document discusses the effect of climate change on urban water system design based on climate change scenarios from 2006. It analyzes hourly and daily precipitation data to determine if extreme hourly rainfall will change in the same way as daily rainfall under climate change scenarios. Results show the intensity of extreme hourly rainfall generally follows the same patterns as changes in daily rainfall, though the relationship is not perfectly correlated. The analysis informs climate-resilient design of urban water systems.
