Climate commentators are highlighting that heavier rainfall does not necessarily translate into higher river flows. In a warming climate, more precipitation can evaporate, soak into drier soils or fall in intense bursts that run off quickly, meaning rivers may see less usable water even as rainfall totals rise. The point is being shared as part of broader discussion on shifting water availability.
