The globally averaged impacts on daily water collection times in minutes for both the low-emissions (RCP2.6) and high-emissions scenario (RCP8.5) over time. Central estimates show the median and shaded areas show the likely range based on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) likelihood classification reflecting a 66% chance. Uncertainty is derived from a Monte-Carlo procedure, which samples from the uncertainty of the empirical regression shown in Table 1 and from the 21 physical climate models from CMIP-6. The impacts of precipitation. They are shown after smoothing with a 5-year running mean to show variations at shorter timescales (Methods).
