Freshwater resources are limited, and therefore, their protection and management are of most extreme importance. Sustainable management of freshwater resources relies upon an understanding of how climate, freshwater, and biophysical and socioeconomic systems are interconnected at various spatial, regional, and global scales. Different activities contributing to climate change such as agriculture, irrigation, pollution, hydroelectric power, etc., can also be a major challenge to the quantity or quality of required water. Changes in the availability of water by heavy precipitation, droughts and depletion of aquifer volumes, have significant consequences. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC; , predicted a 1 CÀ5 C temperature increase over 20À80 years. However, water precipitation is assessed to diminish by 5%À20%, there remains uncertainty about the pattern in summer rainfall. These undetermined conditions, along with notable impacts of population growth,
