To understand the impact of Climate Change on water supplies, and how the world mitigates and adapts to these effects.

Learning Objectives:

Climate change affects global water resources and water systems in different ways and magnitudes, there is a complicated and unpredictable pattern for some of the significant impacts, that could cause serious impacts on the ecosystem and eventually on human health. These effects will add challenges to the sustainable management of water resources, which are already under severe pressure globally. The availability of water for basic human needs, with the quality and quantity recommended for safe drinking water and sanitation could be under serious threats. The effects of climate change can be highly idiosyncratic at the local scale current trends and future projections indicate major shifts in climate, and more extreme weather events in many parts of the world.

It is therefore paramount that decision makers and professionals involved to consider the potential impacts of a changing climate when managing water as a resource for society that is fundamental to sustainable development
