Description:
From urban and agricultural water supplies to flood management and aquatic ecosystem protection, global warming is affecting all aspects of water resource management in the United States. Rising temperatures, loss of snowpack, escalating size and frequency of flood events, and rising sea levels are just some of the impacts of climate change that have broad implications for the management of water resources. Reducing the emissions that cause climate change is a critical step we must take, but water resource managers
and elected officials must act now to adapt to the effects of the warming that have already occurred or are unavoidable.
