CLIMATE CHANGES ON
NATURAL RESOURCES

Drinking water is an essential component of water resources which are under the severe impact of climate change. Climate change is a major problem caused by human activities which has adverse impacts on almost all natural resources. In developing countries like India, climate change could present an additional stress on ecological and socio economic systems that are already facing tremendous pressures due to rapid urbanization, industrialization and economic development.
Rising global temperatures will lead to an intensification of the hydrological cycle, resulting in dryer dry seasons and wetter rain seasons, and subsequently heightened risks of more extreme and frequent floods and drought. Changing climate will also have of water.
India is heavily dependent on the monsoon to meet its agricultural and water needs, and also for protecting and propagating its rich biodiversity. Global warming is causing a set of changes to the Earths climate especially extreme weather events such as flooding, droughts, heat waves etc. Mushrooming of high raised buildings along with the destruction of natural vegetation & water sources,encroachments of forests, technical and technological advancements, phenomenal increase in the number of vehicles etc are the main factors disturbing the climate. On one hand, global warming is not only causing increased evaporation of water from drier parts of the region but also resulting in severe droughts and increased frequency and severity of heat waves in these regions.
Climate change has the direct impact on coastal marine environment and their living resources especially fisheries.
India is the second most densely inhabited, and seventh largest country in the world. It is bordered by the Himalayan mountains in the one side and other three side surrounded by the huge water, Arabian sea, the indian ocean and the Bay of Bengal. The country consists of some of the most unique ecosystems such as the Himalayan mountains in north to east, in middle the Deccan plateau and the vast Indo- Gangetic plains distributed in all over the territory. India's environment leads to a number of different regions with a wide variety of diverse climate conditions, all of them face drastic impact of natural resources.
