This report is part of a major study on the impact of climate change on sewerage hydraulic design.  The project was wide ranging, but with a principle focus on the performance of sewerage systems under future (year 2080) rainfall conditions and what changes might be needed in the hydraulic design of sewerage systems to address any problems that climate change might pose. Other issues include, a summary of international drainage practice and predicted changes in sea levels and river flows.

This report is one of 13 documents collated in 4 volumes. This document is one of three in volume I - Climate Change Effects on Rainfall. The other reports in volume I cover:

• A sensitivity analysis of the differences between the predictions of the UKCIP98 models and the UKCIP02 models
• A seasonality study on the differences between the rainfall output from UKCIP98 and UKCIP02 models.

This report covers the work carried out on processing rainfall data from the Hadley RCM models and producing climate change maps for the predicted change in extreme rainfall for various durations and return periods. The work was based on the Medium-High scenario UKCIP98 models available at the start of the study. Also available in association with this report are sets of maps to illustrate the differences between FSR and FEH rainfall and the uplift due to climate change. All maps are available as rastser (JPG) images – included with the printed document.
Digital images (suitable for ArcView) are available separately.
