Abstract

Understanding the climate change impact on hydrological conditions is considered to be a major challenge in the context of management of stormwater and infrastructure planning. According to the climate projections of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), for the Arabian Peninsula, the future average annual rainfall may decrease, and the frequency and intensity of extreme rainfall events are likely to increase [19]. This study, in particular, focuses on the assessment of the impacts of climate change on extreme rainfall in Qatar.
