The purpose of this research is to assess the potential impact of climate change on the hydrologic frequency of extreme event in Taiwan. Based on downscaled GCM outputs under the A1B emissions scenario GFDL and LASG, frequency of the maximum consecutive dry days and maximum 1-day, 2-day, and 3-day rainfall within 2080-2099 are studied, as compared with those within 1979-1998. In general, in the end of 21st century, extreme event in Taiwan has the tendency to be increasing than before. The distribution of water resource in Taiwan will be more uneven.Therefore it will be a handful challenge for government to drawup a caution for preventing the impact from climate change.
