|Description=<h2>Data uncertainty and limitations</h2>
The most important external data are the digital elevation map, soil maps, initial land-use map, and a map of the global river network. Limitations and uncertainties in modelling future flood risks relate to model input and model parameterisation and processes included.


* The representativeness of the climate input is uncertain due to its limited sampling length (generally 30 years or 100 years) and uncertainty in climate models. A multi-model ensemble of projections, therefore, is highly recommended when preparing a scenario on future flood risk under a changed climate.
