“…Lower water levels and increased nutrient availability can lead to an increase in riparian plant biomass. Climate change impacts water temperature, flow regime, channel morphology, and sedimentation, which can be major factors in influencing invertebrates and fish in rivers [94]. Extreme weather, such as floods, heat waves, and wildfires, are expected to become more common in the future as a result of climate change in med-regions.…”

The average annual temperature, precipitation, and evaporation patterns are some of the characteristics which indicate to a globe where climate is rapidly changing. It remains uncertain regarding how this rapid climate change will impact freshwater biota; however the consequences could be absolutely catastrophic. It is urgently needed to better adapt and maintain the fragile system that comprises the Mediterranean ecosystems. Water shortages and changes in the land use can impact water quality and the watershed's ecosystem. Changes in temperature and precipitation trends can increase the intensity of land use, the increase of water depletion, and the degradation of water quality. The effects of climate change on eco hydrology change runoff, evaporation, surface storage, and soil moisture, that all have immediate effects on the biota and biodiversity of region. It is supported by studies on eco hydrological impacts on local watersheds. The spatial pattern and surface water dynamics of watershed systems are utilized as a perspective using which to examine the hydrologic consequences. The impacts of climate change on rainfall, evaporation, soil humidity, lakes level, and quality of water, habitats, species migration, biodiversity, and economies have been investigated. The potential climatic impacts on watershed ecosystems are determined by a spatiotemporal assessment of variations in temperature and precipitation projections from a multimodal ensemble. The susceptibility of a watershed changed depending over its geographic region, terrain, and human influence. As such a manner of dealing with climate change, improving watershed systems could be beneficial. Various techniques have

“…Lower water levels and increased nutrient availability can lead to an increase in riparian plant biomass. Climate change impacts water temperature, flow regime, channel morphology, and sedimentation, which can be major factors in influencing invertebrates and fish in rivers (Soomro et al 2023). The pattern of macrophyte abundance responds quickly to waterlevel and water quality changes and is a reliable indicator of stress (Manzoor et al 2021).…”

Global warming is affecting animal populations worldwide, through chronic temperature increases and an increase in the frequency of extreme heatwave events. Reservoirs are essential for water security. All watersheds with reservoirs are impacted by their construction. These artificial ecosystems controlled by humans change considerably the natural terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem and systems and their biodiversity. The rapid increase in population growth, urbanization, and industrialization are accompanied by an increase in river discharges, which increases the total amount of pollutants. HMs contamination in aquatic environments, as well as the subsequent absorption of HMs into the food chain by aquatic creatures and people, endangers public health. Multiple uses of reservoirs promote benefits in terms of economic development, income, and employment. HMs in water can be ingested directly by aquatic species like fish and can also be ingested indirectly through the food chain; thus, it is much more important and required to conduct frequent monitoring of the aquatic environment. As a result, this review summarizes knowledge about the effects of cascade dams on river water temperature and increases on the stress physiology of fishes, and adaptation to climate change is also needed to produce more fish without global warming.
