Explain the impacts of climate change on water resources.

The main climate change consequences related to water resources are increases in temperature, shifts in precipitation patterns and snow cover, and a likely increase in the frequency of flooding and droughts.

Depending on the region, climate change will have widely differing effects on Europe’s water. Higher temperatures will generally intensify the global hydrological cycle. Annual precipitation trends in Europe indicate that northern Europe has become 10%-40 % wetter over the last century, whereas southern Europe has become up to 20 % drier. Over the last century annual river discharge has increased in some regions, such as eastern Europe, while it has fallen in others, such as southern Europe.

Climate change may also markedly change the seasonal variation in river-flow. Higher temperatures will push the snow ___ ____ ___ ___ _____ __________.
