There is a shifting pattern of extreme climate events across Indian districts according to a new report released on Friday. Some floodprone areas are now becoming susceptible to droughts and vice versa; often a combination of both hazards are being seen, the report added.
In the past two decades more than 80% districts in Gujarat have witnessed an increased frequency and intensity of extreme floods as per the analysis by IPE Global and Esri-India. This may explain the devastating floods in Saurashtra this year too.
