 Worldwide fresh water is decreasing due to the impact of climate change

 Scientists have said that the amount of fresh water is decreasing worldwide due to the impact of climate change. The last decade has seen nine of the warmest years on record. This has caused a lot of loss of fresh water.

Climate change is having a direct impact on water resources. By analyzing satellite data, scientists have identified a decrease of 290 cubic miles of fresh water since 2015.

As a result, all the lakes, rivers and groundwater in the world have decreased by 1 centimeter. Although this decrease is very small compared to the total amount of fresh water on our planet.

According to scientists, 290 cubic miles of fresh water were lost from the Earth in 2015. It is believed that this may be due to El Niño. A study by Geophysics has shown that even after eight years, the lost water has not been replenished.



Even though the La Niña cycle is relatively cool between 2020 and 2023, the amount of fresh water is not increasing.

Matthew Rodel, a scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in the United States, said that since 2015, temperatures have been high for several years. The decrease in water is not coincidentally related to the decrease in stored water.

The level of gravity is different in different places. More water in rivers, lakes, and reservoirs creates a stronger gravitational pull. When the water there is less, the pull is less strong.

The total amount of freshwater on Earth is about 14 million cubic miles. Due to rising global temperatures, both surface evaporation and the ability of the atmosphere to hold water vapor are increasing.

The situation is getting worse due to various types of droughts around the world. The amount of freshwater decreased in the 1980s, although nature later restored it on its own. Scientists are not able to say when the recent situation will return to normal.
