“…Climate change has significant impacts on chemical water quality when compared to changes in meteorological parameters [ 80 ]. Storm, snowmelt, drought and elevated air temperature have a significant impact on drinking water quality [ 81 ]. For instance, heavy rainfall can increase the turbidity of water resources.…”

Climate variability is heavily impacting human health all around the globe, in particular, on residents of developing countries. Impacts on surface water and groundwater resources and water-related illnesses are increasing, especially under changing climate scenarios such as diversity in rainfall patterns, increasing temperature, flash floods, severe droughts, heatwaves and heavy precipitation. Emerging water-related diseases such as dengue fever and chikungunya are reappearing and impacting on the life of the deprived; as such, the provision of safe water and health care is in great demand in developing countries to combat the spread of infectious diseases. Government, academia and private water bodies are conducting water quality surveys and providing health care facilities, but there is still a need to improve the present strategies concerning water treatment and management, as well as governance. In this review paper, climate change pattern and risks associated with water-related diseases in developing countries, with particular focus on Pakistan, and novel methods for controlling both waterborne and water-related diseases are discussed. This study is important for public health care, particularly in developing countries, for policy makers, and researchers working in the area of climate change, water quality and risk assessment.

“…agriculture, energy and manufacture) and the environment, have created conditions for integrated water management, in which water protection has been mainstreamed into other EU policies, including the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), the Habitats Directive and the Drinking Water Directive (Ludwig et al, 2014;Carvalho et al, 2019). This shift from single issue to integrated European water legislation culminated with the enactment of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) (Directive 2000/60/EC), which is widely regarded as the most substantial and ambitious piece of European water legislation to date (Giakoumis and Volvoulis, 2018;Prieto, 2009).…”

“…In particular, cross-disciplinary research and historical observations are needed together with modelling expertise to assess potential direct and indirect impacts of climate change scenarios on drinking water (Qiu et al, 2019). Direct effects include those directly determined by temperature increase and/or by changes in precipitation regimen while, amongst the indirect ones, the consequences of different socio-economic scenarios on water demand, in response of climate change, can be considered (Henriques et al, 2008;Delpla et al, 2009;Rodriguez and Delpla, 2017).…”

One of the consequences of the generally agreed rise of global temperatures, furtherly exacerbated by the growth of water demand caused by the needs of a growing population, is an increase of areas with water stress. This will imply and in part is already implying, an always greater imbalance between water (and in particular drinking water) demand and supply. These issues are among those investigated by the "Adapting Drinking Water resources to the Impacts of Climate change in Europe" (ADWICE) project that had, among its main goals, the identification of priority adaptation measures aimed at reducing drinking water vulnerability to the

“…The integrated approach of watershed modeling through a hydrological model SWAT has been used. In recent times, several studies have been carried out at various spatial scales, which investigate the hydrological behaviour and response of watersheds arising out of anticipated climate change across the globe at various spatial scales [7][8][9][10][11][12][13].…”

Climate change is believed to affect the hydrological pattern of a watershed. The current paper evaluates the ability of a hydrological model Soil and Water assessment Tool (SWAT) to create a scenario of precipitation on the upper watershed of River Subarnarekha, Ranchi, in the state of Jharkhand, India. Sequential uncertainty fitting (SUFI-2) algorithm has been applied for model calibration and uncertainty analysis. The sensitivity analysis was made using a built-in SWAT sensitivity analysis tool that uses the Latin Hypercube One-factor-At-a-Time. The model parameters were calibrated (2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005) and validated (2013-2017) with discharge data obtained from CWC hydrological observatory site, Muri (Ranchi). In this study, IPCC SRES A1B Scenario, PRECIS RCM for time slices, near century (2011-2040, or 2020s), mid century (2041-2070, or 2050s) and end century (2071-2098, or 2080s) extracted by Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, Pune (India) have been used for the study The analysis shows that the mean annual rainfall will slightly decrease by 19.4 mm (1.4%) in the 2020s, increase by 86.2 mm (6.2%) in the 2050s, and further increase by 126 mm (9.1%) in the 2080s. For the 2020s, surface runoff shows an average annual decrease by 18.4%. For the 2050s and 2080s, there is an average annual increase by 11.8% and 38.2% respectively. It may be concluded that the precipitation pattern of the climate projections has a significant impact on water balance components. This study will be useful to take timely decisions for the best possible options to mitigate the impact of climate change.
