characteristics (eg, intensities, extents) is still limited and not well understood. This …

Hydrological extremes can be particularly impactful in catchments with high human
presence where they are modulated by human intervention such as reservoir regulation …

Climate change and human activities are two major driving forces affecting the hydrologic
cycle, which further influence the stationarity of the hydrologic regime. Hydrological drought …
