Historical climate change events and their influence on water resources management

Alterations to Water Resources (WR) are vital for all economic sectors. Climate Change (CC) will influence the timing and volume of WR availability in the environment, negatively impacting its quality. Storms, droughts, and changing trends of WR scarcity—defined as insufficient availability or inadequate quality of WR at the appropriate time to meet demand—are all essential considerations in assessing the future economic growth potential of the study region. The handling of WR will grow increasingly critical as several sectors endeavor to mitigate the danger of WR scarcity under rising CC. This research examines the observed alterations in the WR supplies of the study region and the anticipated changes in their accessibility and quality due to future climatic conditions. The study area usually gets wetter, with the expected rise mainly occurring in winter and spring. Increased WR consumption throughout summer will heighten the probability of WR scarcity and necessitate enhanced WR management strategies. The study area could gain from investing in techniques to improve short-term WR retention, thereby preserving excess WR from winter and spring to mitigate summer deficits.
