Analysis reveals climate change effects on precipitation and drought in Greece, indicating adaptation needs for vulnerable regions.

To examine how climate change impacts precipitation volumes and drought characteristics across hydrological basins in Greece.
Analyzed basin-level hydrological data in Greece.
Utilized high-resolution climate projections under multiple RCP scenarios.
Quantified precipitation volume and drought frequency using the Standardised Precipitation Index.
Applied spatial statistical methods to incorporate basin geometries.
Found reduced rainfall and extended drought conditions in various basins.
Identified increased hydro-climatic extremes under future climate scenarios.
Provided insights on precipitation redistribution across basins with climate change.

Zarikos et al. (2026) studied this question.
