Climate change intensifies extreme rainfall and flood hazards, significantly impacting tropical nations like Sri Lanka. The research reveals increased extreme rainfall across the island, leading to a wetter environment in dry and intermediate zones. An increasing rainfall pattern in the Kelani River basin creates a probability of flooding, and nearly 16.4% of the lower basin is identified as highly susceptible to floods. The findings can contribute to improved disaster preparedness and mitigation efforts effectively. | en_US |
