Impact of Climate Change and Its Variability on the Rainfall Pattern in Sarawak River Basin

Climate change due to global warming is expected to play a role in determining the availability of water in years to come. An understanding on the potential effects of climate change on the hydrology of a river basin is important in preparing adaptability measures that will produce benefits even i...
