What are the implications of global warming on the availability and quality of drinking water resources?
Global warming can lead to changes in the availability and quality of drinking water resources by altering precipitation patterns, melting glaciers, and increasing evaporation rates, causing water scarcity, droughts, and contamination from pollutants and saltwater intrusion, posing risks to public health, ecosystems, and socioeconomic development, necessitating water management strategies and investment in water infrastructure.
