Response to Reviewer #2

Abstract

We thank Reviewer 2 for taking the time to read our paper, for the positive comments and for recognising the contribution this research makes. We think we can revise our manuscript and address the specific comments as follow. Comment (1): L 83 The MS "promises" that somehow the modelling exercise will take into account climate change. I think this is quite weak in the analysis presented. The authors should discuss a little if climate change projections could be used to define future values of rainfall based on Representative concentration scenarios and simulations by Regional/Global climate models, and mention literature on the subject.
