AbstractThe most sensitive river regions include the Atlantic coast,
the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Valley regions, the Rocky Mountains
and the Prairies. The sensitivity projection for Canada's river regions
in response to climate warming was derived based on an examination of the effects
of projected precipitation changes on landscapes.
Climate warming has the potential to cause substantial changes to flow in rivers.
The most direct effects of projected climate change would be an increase in
floods and river erosion.
