eKantipur: The centrality of water in climate change is astounding, said Dipak Gywali, former Water Resource Minister, on Monday at the launch of a new book Research Insights on Climate and Water in the Hindu Kush Himalayas from the World Bank-funded South Asia Water Initiative Small Grants Program, implemented by the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD). The new book, which presents policy-relevant findings of eight research projects in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China,...
Water cycle amplifies abrupt climate change

ScienceDaily: During the abrupt cooling at the onset of the so-called Younger Dryas period 12680 years ago changes in the water cycle were the main drivers of widespread environmental change in western Europe. Thus, the regional impacts of future climate changes can be largely driven by hydrological changes, not only in the monsoonal areas of the world, but also in temperate areas. The role of the hydrological cycle during abrupt temperature changes is of prime importance for the actual impact of climate change...

Climate Change Roulette and Water Scarcity
2013-12-25 22:22:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: A new study by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found that climate change is likely to put 40 percent more people worldwide at risk of absolute water scarcity, due to changes in rainfall and evaporation. Unsurprisingly, the study noted that Expected future population changes will, in many countries as well as globally, increase the pressure on available water resources. With a mid-range United Nations...

Climate Change and Water Scarcity
2013-10-08 23:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: Using a novel methodological approach, scientists of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) have introduced new estimates on how climate change will affect water availability. Access to freshwater in Africa and the Middle East is known to be scarce, but the Siberian tundra and Indian grasslands also lack freshwater. These areas along with dry pockets across the globe are expected to expand and create implications for their habitats and communities. The new study predicts that if...
