摘要：Climate change and its impact on already scarce water resources are of global importance, but even more so forwater scarce countries. The projected increase in temperature in certain regions of the world is anticipated to havean inevitable influence on water availability. 1 Changes in the supply of water will inevitably affect the availabilityof water for domestic use, agricultural production, and industrial use. The water demand pressure, driven byglobal temperature surges, population growth, degradation of water quality, lack of efficient water managementand the like, accentuates water scarcity. 2 According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, by 2020,it is anticipated that about 250 million people will be exposed to water stress because of the changing climate.Combined with an increase in demand, the adverse effect on livelihoods and the aggravation of already existingpopulation shifts, uneven wealth distribution and related problems can lead to a more complicated system.
