Abstract

This work aims to answer whether climate change is a precursor to updating the rain equations developed in different regions of Brazil. The methodology was based on a Systematic Review of the existing literature, made through the "Periódicos Capes" portal. The results showed that in some cities, there are no rain equations and not enough rain measurements available, so, in these cases it is not possible to study Climate Change and the formulations of Rain Designs. However, in places where data are available, the need to update the Rain Design equations are evaluated using recent historical rainfall data, and it was found that these changes could be explained by climate change.
