Title: | Climate change and its effects on water resources: Issues of national and global security | Authors: | Baba, Alper Gündüz, Orhan Friedel, Michael J. Tayfur, Gökmen Howard, Ken W.F. Chambel, Antonio |
Publisher: | Springer | Abstract: | National and global security can be assessed in many ways but one underlying factor for all humanity is to access to reliable sources of water for drinking, sanitation, food production and manufacturing industry. In many parts of the world, population growth and an escalating demand for water already threaten the sustainable management of available water supplies. Global warming, climate change and sea level rise are expected to intensify the resource sustainability issue in many water-stressed regions of the world by reducing the annual supply of renewable fresh water and promoting the intrusion of saline water into aquifers along sea coasts where 50% of the global population reside. Pro-active resource management decisions are required, but such efforts would be futile unless reliable predictions can be made to assess the impact of the changing global conditions that would impart upon the water cycle and the quality and availability of critical water reserves. | URI: | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-007-1143-3 https://hdl.handle.net/11147/10184 |
