application/pdfWater is the key medium that links atmospheric temperature rises to changes in human and physical systems. Climate change will alter the global hydrological cycle in many ways. The trigger is the warming of the atmosphere and oceans, which will change major weather systems. This will alter the temporal and spatial patterns of rainfall with consequences for runoff, surface and groundwater storage, river flow regimes and, it is estimated, greater likelihood of extremes – droughts and floods – in different parts of the world. This background note outlines the state of existing knowledge and suggests better ways to build successful adaptation approaches into the water sector.
