Question Q.15GS1GS1

Examine the impacts of climate change on the hydrological cycle and suggest suitable mitigation and adaptation strategies to contain the harmful implications.

Main Body

Hydrological cycle is the circulation of water in between hydrosphere, atmosphere and lithosphere through the natural phenomena like evaporation, precipitation, assay, evapotranspiration etc.

The rate and etienne of these processes depends on various parameters due temperate due point, pressure, humidity, wind speed and direction etc. Global warming is the worldwide increase in the temperature of the earth. It has resulted in the distance of hydrological cycle in many way.

Impacts of Global warming on hydrological cycle:

1Increased evaporation - Has resulted in more moisture and water in air leading to increased humidity, it has led to rapid loss of water from reservoirs and more leading to water scarcity and drought.

2Intensity temperature has led to increased in the instance of localized convective rainfalls leading to flash flooding, urban flooding etc.

3Global warming has resulted in depleting of ozone layers leading to increased UV radiation and formation of stratospheric clouds which led to acid rain in some places.

4High temperature has resulted in the unsichtly in weather leading to thunderstorm and rainfall that occur at feet during rainfall that occurs at feet during rainfall that occurs at feet during rainfall that occurs at feet during rainfall that occurs at feet during

5High cause temperature de the global has led to unpredictable rainsons and rains lead to scarcity in hotter in some places while flooding in other places.

Mitigation, Accuma and adoption measures:

1Reducing GHG emissions that are separate for atmospheric chunk in increase in the global temperature.

2Consensus based global approach based on various climate change institutions like UNFCCC and agreement like Montreal Parhel pants agreement to achieve a inclusive target in reduction of global warming.

3Shift to carbon neutral at less pollution methods for production and transport to decrease smelling e.g. Green hydrogen, Electic vehicles.

4Renewable energy production to be increased in sustainable manner, e.g. solar energy (CISA), nuclear energy, biofuel etc.

5Sustainable and inclusive approach to develop resilient & methods of climate conti and capacity building at populace to ensure climate justice and climate resilience.

Global warming is a oceanosl that is the nire and hydrological cycle and can only be coniked by the combined and unalterdad efforts it all stakeholders.
