National and global security can be assessed in many ways but one underlying factor
for all humanity is access to reliable sources of water for drinking, sanitation,
food production and manufacturing industry. In many parts of the world, population
growth and an escalating demand for water already threaten the sustainable management
of available water supplies. Global warming, climate change and rising sea level are
expected to intensify the resource sustainability issue in many water-stressed regions
of the world by reducing the annual supply of renewable fresh water and promoting
the intrusion of saline water into aquifers along sea coasts, where 50% of the global
population reside. Pro-active resource management decisions are required, but such
efforts would be futile unless reliable predictions can be made about the impact of
the changing global conditions on the water cycle and the quality and availability
of critical water reserves. Addressing this wide spectrum of issues, a team of expert
authors discusses here the impacts of climate change on the global water resources,
the long-term resource management goals at global and local scales, the data requirements
and the scientific and technical advances necessary to mitigate the associated impacts
