Effects of Global Warming on Water Resources
Global warming is a menace faced by the human race in the present times. Both the environment and the human lives are being adversely affected by the phenomenon of global warming. The effects of global warming is myriad and numerous. Several researches were conducted by different organizations and all of them revealed that global warming is increasing at an alarming rate which is augmenting the end of the world.
The effects of global warming are vast and cover every sphere of one’s life. Both the nature and the living beings are suffering from the effects of global warming. If we do not take note of the alarming rate of growing global warming then our earth might cease to exist someday. The water bodies have been heavily affected by the global warming phenomenon. Sea levels have risen, glaciers retreats are taking place often and the most harmful affect is the shrinking of the Arctic Circle. This phenomenon has caused concerns among all the sectors and geoengineering is considered to be a way of mitigation.
If we put it simply then the water bodies would be affected during the long an scorching summers since the rate of evaporation would increases with hotter summers. Water cycle is important for any kind of human activity and global warming would adversely affect this cycle causing a topsy turvy in the human activities as well as the climactic changes. Global warming might also lead to floods. The water levels in many regions would lower due to excessive evaporation and this would cause in torrential downpours increasing the chance of deluge.
Water is essential for human existence. It is also used for various other purposes like generating electricity from the hydel power plants. These hydroelectricity plants require the water current which is derived from the fast flowing rivers. But with the increase in global warming the rivers are unable to maintain their flow causing a decline in the production of electricity. Water levels in reservoirs and aquifers are also decreasing due to the increase in global warming. This would lead to grave consequences at homes and workplaces as well as the agricultural sector of the different countries.
The acceleration in the phenomenon of global warming has caused the ice sheets in the West Antarctic Circle and Greenland to shrink. Carbon sediments have been released in the air and due to the increase of carbon emission the reduction in the ice sheets has taken place. This reduction might cause a huge flood around the world. By the end of twenty first century the water in the sea is expected to rise by 7.1- 23.2 inches. Due to the augmentation of global warming effects the Thermohaline circulation might as well get disrupted. The fresh water from the Polar Regions would interrupt the Gulf Stream causing this distress.
The imbalance created in the water cycle by global warming has far reaching effects. Some places on the earth would face extreme temperatures along with torrential rainfall while others would face scarcity of water and drought. In fact, according to the scientists this phenomenon of global warming might even cause desertification in the extreme Tropical areas like Africa.
The glacier infested areas like Western North America, Asia, Alps, Indonesia and Africa are suffering badly due to global warming. The melting of glaciers in these regions has raised concerns regarding the increase in water levels. Ocean circulation also suffers due to global warming. The oceans act as the absorber of carbon dioxide and when it reaches the saturation point it fails to absorb anymore carbon dioxide. As a result the ocean surface becomes warm.
Acidification of ocean is caused due to the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This is an indirect effect of global warming causing distress to people worldwide. The rise in sea level would cause infiltration of the saline water into the groundwater. This will pose as a potential danger for the health of the living organisms. Hence, we should sit up and take note of this predicament that is threatening our existence. Only our joint endeavor would help our race to survive the threat of global warming.

Go Places!!
It was holidays again and this time Iwas keen on visiting a sea side. Therefore I began searching for information on the net with a view to bump into some information about the best sea coats in the world. I went about searching madly through various web sites for relevant information but was satisfied with none. Some only had beautiful pictures and others had some very boring piece of information contained within them. I looked up various web sites but all in vain until i really bumped into the site called www.mapsofworld.com and very rightly named so since the pages of this link contains excellent information regarding the places of the world. After going through the web site I decided to pay a visit to Miami, the splendid land of the azure sky, the roaring sea, whcih is rightly known as the gateway of the Americans. Miami boasts of spectacular beaches, the footfall at the beaches during the peak season beats all the other sea sides around the world. I could gather all the necessary information about the flights, accommodation, other tourist destinations, tour conductors, cuisine etc. from a single web site that is www.mapsofworld.com. In fact, the description about the beaches in Miami in this site enticed me to plan a visit to the place. The site contains every bit of information about the city which would be of great help to the backpackers. I would suggest every one out there to go through this particular site before one plans to go on a trip. I was much relieved after visiting this site because it provided me with concrete information regarding the travel necessities. Hence, i made it a point to go through the site whenevr i plan to go out on a sojourn and have informed my relatives and friends as well to visit this site before they visit a place since the information they provide is unparallel. :-)
