Precipitation events & stormwater runoff increase as climate warms & landscape develops

"Researchers have demonstrated for the first time that runoff extremes have been dramatically increasing in response to climate and human-induced changes. Their findings show a large increase in both precipitation and runoff extremes driven by both human activity and climate change. They also found that storm runoff has a stronger response than precipitation to human-induced changes (climate change, land-use land-cover changes, etc)." - Excerpt from Columbia University via ScienceDaily.
