Impact of Climate Change on Water Resources
... The decline in the number of storms is linked with largescale global circulation changes (in about 1970); It is feasible that the drying trend could have been the result of unforced climate variability; However, the decline in rainfall is also consistent with the modelled effect of anthropogen ...
