Short summary

The main driving force of climate variability and in hydrologic cycle is the solar radiation.Over the period 1850 to 1996 was observed steady increase of sunspots on the Sun. During this period also was observed an increase in temperature in the Northern Hemisphere.The study presents an analysis of river runoffs trends in the past,proposes a methodology to calculate an influence of solar activity on rivers discharge and air temperature.River runoffs trends for the period up to 2030 have shown.
