Short summary
This study assessed the impact of climate change on flooding in the Gin River Basin in Sri Lanka. Findings reveal that climate patterns significantly influence rainfall and river flow. Predictions indicate future monsoon rainfall increase, resulting in higher river flow and larger flood-prone areas. The study offers valuable insights for effective adaptation to climate change-induced flooding in the Gin River Basin.
