Impacts of Climate Change on Water

Abstract

This paper reviews the effects of climate change on our water supply. We look at the melting of major ice caps globally and explore the effects that this will cause on water availability and use. Further, this paper serves to promote discussion on key elements to water management, which include regulating emissions, promoting green technologies, and encouraging water efficiency. The key finding lies in the need for greater discussion of water use for effectively minimizing the negative impacts of climate change on stakeholders while supporting specific policy objectives of water management.
