Understanding the risks and opportunities presented by the changing water cycle is one of the most pressing challenges facing scientists, water managers and policymakers in the 21 century [1]. The Paris Agreement challenges scientists to improve our understanding of the water cycle’s role in the Earth system, to quantify the risks and impacts of anthropogenic warming and environmental change on hydrological extremes, and to provide more precise estimates of the availability of water resources worldwide. The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction reinforces the importance of understanding hydro-meteorological hazards to support risk-based management and to provide timely and accurate predictions. Arising from the 2030 agenda, the Sustainable Development Goals emphasise the need to remove the constraints that water insecurity places on economic growth [2, 3], and highlight the transformative benefits arising in both developed and developing economies from well-managed water resources and reduced vulnerability to extremes [4]. In the United Kingdom, the 2016 National Flood Resilience Review [5] has stressed the importance of accurate assessments of current and future flood risk, and stimulated innovation to provide better predictions of floods across all time-scales. Moreover, the resilience of key economic and infrastructure assets to current and future water resources availability and extremes demands robust, defensible, physically-consistent projections to support long-lived investment decisions [6].
