Climate Change Impact on Water Demand and Supply

How will climate change affect water demand and water supply?

A. Not affect

B. Increase

C. Decrease

Answer

The correct answer is Climate change will increase water demand and will decrease water supply.

One of the things that most affects climate change is the availability of water on our planet. While our planet has more water than land, most of that water is not potable. Therefore, if the climate change continues as it has not been reversed until now, it is likely that the heat that continues to increase evaporates a large amount of this drinking water, as well as melting the glaciers that are a great source of this resource, and if they melt we will not have where to get water.

Because of the climate change, the demand for water will be greater but its provision will be lower, because there will be less and less.
