Climate Change is Water Change

From Session 1, Climate Change Impacts on Watersheds: What We Know, of Track B-Warming Watersheds at River Network's Winter Training 2010, in his presentation--Climate Change is Water Change--Bevan Griffiths-Sattenspiel of River Network explains why climate change is water change by going through projected impacts of global warming on our water resources.

Global climate change will reveal itself through water by altering hydrologic cycles and increasing the likelihood of more extreme weather events, such as floods, droughts and hot spells. However, the specific changes experienced in a community will vary from place to place. This presentation will give an overview of how climate change will impact water supplies throughout the United States and explore different types of adaptation strategies to address these changes and how climate change can be incorporated into planning.
