Global climate change: implications for water quality and quantity
This article discusses how the earth's climate is changing because of human activity that is altering the composition of the atmosphere. These changes are predicted to accompany increases and decreases in precipitation and changes in the frequency and intensity of extreme climate phenomena. There is high confidence by scientists worldwide that recent regional changes in temperature have had discernable effects on many physical and biological systems. Projected changes in climate extremes could have major consequences, including effects on natural and human systems. Water quantity and water quality are expected to be particularly vulnerable to climate change. The article discusses how water utility managers must begin to take action to address these changes and makes several recommendations.
