Abstract

The study investigated the influences of land cover on daily extreme precipitation. The indices trend revealed the extreme precipitation increases did not distribute homogeneously for the Netherlands onward 1961. A considerable increase in the maximum precipitation was detected over rapidly developing urban areas, which reflects the anthropogenic impacts on precipitation extremes. The possible effects of land cover on daily extreme precipitation differed by block maxima approach between the categorised stations for quantifying the possible effects of land cover. The comparison exposes the land cover, especially urban areas, has influenced on the maximum daily precipitation. Evidently, the extreme precipitation trend over the urban area has a greater change than that over the nonurban areas, during the winter half-year for the last 53 years.
