Water-Climate Nexus

The Water-Climate Nexus refers to the interconnection between water resources and climate change. As temperatures rise, water availability can be affected—some areas may experience droughts, while others may face flooding. Changes in precipitation patterns and snowmelt can impact water supply and quality. Conversely, managing water resources effectively can help mitigate climate change by promoting sustainable practices, reducing emissions, and increasing resilience to climate impacts. Understanding this relationship is crucial for developing strategies to ensure a stable supply of clean water in a changing climate.
