WATER AND CLIMATE IN THE GLOBAL SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AGENDA

Abstract

All nations are contending with the effects of climate change, but the poorer ones are particularly impacted because they lack the resources to counteract the changes that are occurring.The changing climate affects almost every part of our environment, and these changes in turn constantly prompt more changes in the external environment.Sustainability has become a crucial issue due to the effects of these changes and humanity's collective incapacity to survive with the finite amount of natural resources (including freshwater).This paper examines the connection between water supplies and climate change, as well as how water circulation affects climate change. and then briefly reviews several research techniques for examining how climate change has an impact on hydrology and water supplies. Finally, it highlights research challenges and suggests future directions, including refining the distributed hydrological model, enhancing the accuracy of climate and hydrologic models, and creating two-way coupling strategies for these models.
