Impact of Climate Change on Water Resources

Description

The issue of water is becoming important and is at the center of global planning, management, and policy reform. Concerns regarding water as a renewable resource, its accessibility to a variety of users, the health of aquatic ecosystems, and worldwide problems with climate change, water security, water commerce, and water ethics are all on the rise. The world has been made aware of the changing climate by events during the past year. In sections of 2017, the Arctic's temperature spiked again as the region continued to lose permafrost and sea ice. As a result, the Arctic is warming approximately twice as quickly as the rest of the planet. The Arctic Resilience Report warned that the Arctic's increased warming could result in tipping points that would cause catastrophic and uncontrollable climate changes. The need for water is increasing steadily. Inventive and creative governance is required to manage this priceless resource in the face of mounting pressures from climate change, migration, and population increase. In addition, our nation has access to abundant seawater resources that span broad portions of more than a dozen states and union territories. Both society and nature rely on water resources. We require a consistent, clean drinking water supply to maintain our health. Water is also necessary for agriculture, energy development, navigation, leisure, and manufacturing. Many of these applications stress water resources, and climate change is expected to worsen matters. This book offers the most recent theories and information on waterlogging and salinity, sedimentation, land use, eutrophication, fisheries, and aquatic weeds. Experts from nine different nations have contributed to it. Additionally, readers will learn about social implications, financial tools, starting ecologically friendly projects, water quality modeling and monitoring, water reuse, and other topics.
