Report warns of drastic changes to Alpine hydrological system

摘要

The European Environment Agency (EEA) has issued a report on the challenge of climate change facing the Alps that warns the alpine hydrological system will continue to alter drastically.rn'Projected changes in precipitation, snow-cover patterns and glacier storage will further alter runoff regimes, leading to more droughts in summer, floods and landslides in winter and higher inter-annual variability,' the report notes.
