Abstract

Providing safe water and climate action are among the most challenging tasks for the entire world among seventeen sustainable development goals. However, climate change of the planet has become disastrous for the living world as it has many direct and indirect harmful impacts, including water crisis, frequent occurrences of disasters, polar glaciers disappearance, rise in seawater levels, extreme weather events, habitat loss, low agricultural yields, health problems etc. In the current study, the impacts of climate change on water resources (surface water, groundwater) have been discussed briefly. The present study also links climate change with various attributes like productivity, pH balance, oxygenation and the circulation pattern of the marine ecosystem. Diverse climatic-driven phenomena like extreme weather conditions (drought and flood), sea-level rise, melting of ice, loss of productivity and change in nutrient loading in surface water ecosystems, contamination in groundwater and saltwater intrusion in the freshwater aquifer are described in the present study. Further, the climate-induced factors like temperature and precipitation patterns which affect the water quality have been illustrated as these factors have control over the life support systems of the planet. Conservation and management measures of water resources in changing climatic scenarios are also considered in the current study. Moreover, a link between sustainable development goals and climate change has also been part of this study. The authors believe this paper will show a few ways for extensive future research in water resource management and assist the scholars in achieving sustainable development goals in the changing climatic scenario.
