A
Could enhance either positive or negative feedback systems
2
Q
ENSO
A
Long term = may last longer and be more intense
3
Q
Rainfall patterns
A
Unpredictable and unreliable = hard to plan water use
Areas that rely on seasonal rainfall may experience water stress
Increase frequency of storm surges
Increase saltwater encroachment = flooding of sea water
Meltwater affects communities in upland areas
Increased evaporation from stores = reduce volume in communities and decrease in water security
