Freshwater resources are one of the prime victims of climate change. Findings from Research More than one-sixth of the world’s population is dependent for water on glacier melt and seasonal snow packs. The effects would arise from an initial increase in annual water flows due to the rapid melting of the glaciers, followed by a decrease in the flows due to a decrease in the water volume stored in glaciers and snow packs. Such a situation...
