Maps of observed precipitation change from 1901 to 2010 and from 1951 to 2010. Trends in annual accumulation were calculated using the same criteria as the previous map.
List the impact(s) of a wetter climate on human health and of a drier climate on human health.

Slide5The
climate driver
is the specific climate change
that leads to an environmental condition.The environmental condition is what arises in response to a specific climate change.An environmental hazard is what will directly lead to a negative health effect.5Visual Model | Cause-effect
Slide6Some individuals and groups may be
more vulnerable
to water-borne infection as a result of floodwaters.
