autumn and winter floods caused by precipitation will increase especially in large lakes and their outflow rivers. 190 6 Climate change impacts, adaptation measures and vulnerability assessment Adaptation to climate change is also addressed in the River Basin Management Plans to 2021, based on the EU Water Framework Directive. These plans were updated and adopted by the Government in December 2015 for 2016 to 2021.

Additionally, many natural water retention measures are suggested in recently updated plans.
