| Summary | Projection of annual rainfall, natural river flow condition and drought in Japan was studied. The uncertainties of climate change projection were considered by using 4 climate change projection models. As a result, it was found that the drought risk may increase in the most of the areas in Japan, excluding the some parts of Hokkaido. |
