The linked article discusses the impacts of increasing rainfall in the Arctic, which is caused by the region’s rapid warming and sea ice loss. Some of the main effects are:

- Accelerated #ice loss and #sealevel rise from #rain-on-snow events on the #Greenland ice sheet.

- More #flooding, #permafrost thaw, #landslides, and #avalanches from heavy rain and #snowmelt

- Challenges for wildlife.

“HIGHLIGHTS
• The rise in temperature and increase in precipitation is projected in future in Kaligandaki River basin.
• The water availability in the basin is not likely to decrease during this century.
• The change in water balance in the upper sub-basins of Kaligandaki River is higher.
• The output from this research could be beneficial for water resources management..."
