Water Scarcity in the Face of Climate Change: A Global Crisis Unveiled

Dr. Rishu Nakamura

Water scarcity is an increasingly critical issue exacerbated by climate change, posing significant challenges to ecosystems, human populations, and socioeconomic development worldwide. Climate change alters precipitation patterns, intensifies droughts, and influences the availability and quality of water resources. This abstract explores the complex interplay between water scarcity and climate change, emphasizing the impacts on various sectors such as agriculture, industry, and domestic water supply. It examines the interconnected factors contributing to water scarcity, including population growth, urbanization, water mismanagement, and environmental degradation. The abstract further discusses the potential consequences of water scarcity, such as compromised food security, economic losses, conflicts, and adverse health effects. Finally, it highlights the importance of implementing sustainable water management strategies, including conservation, efficient use, water reuse, and the integration of climate change adaptation measures, to mitigate the effects of water scarcity in the face of climate change.
