Why rivers?
The impact of climate change on rivers does not only affect the direct access to clean water for thousands of people.
Approximately 70% of all water withdrawn from rivers, lakes and aquifers is used for irrigation. Rising temperatures have a direct impact on decreasing river flows, making many fields and forests drier and consequently also the surrounding aquifers.
