ClImate Change Impacts on Water Resources

Ayla Novruzova

Abstract


In the last few years there has been significant interest in Climate change. It has found the direct impact on surrounding world as well as on water resources. The rise in temperature associated with climate change results in a general decrease in the proportion of precipitation falling as snow and, as a result, a decrease in the duration of snow cover in many areas. With a shift from spring snow melt to winter runoff, this has implications for the timing of streamflow in such areas. The number of people living in water-stressed countries would rise. These changes threaten the quality of drinking water, rising water levels, and drying up, which also has implications for quality of life and food production.  All of the above have a devastating effect on our ecosystem.  It should be noted that the impact of climate change on water resources is also the impact of the community, such as environmental or social (health security, future existence).  Scientists from all across the world already agree that the global climate change is the result of human activity.
