EcoWatch: Already the most destructive and deadly of all natural disasters, science tells us that flooding events will increase in frequency and intensity with climate change. Meanwhile population pressures will continue to see more and more building in low-lying coastal areas and flood plains. Investment in adequate defenses will need to grow massively to protect against this advancing threat. The engineering challenge comes when excess water, usually from too much rainfall or melting snow, flows where...

India and China will suffer severe water stress by 2050, says study
2016-04-01 07:36:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Monitor: Parts of Asia are likely to suffer severe water stress by the middle of this century, according to a new study by scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The study, published Wednesday in the journal PLOS One, considered major developing nations notably India and China and modeled their water-use trajectories if no action is taken to restrain either growth or anthropogenic climate change. Under such circumstances, the researchers found that both countries had a roughly...
