State of Global Water Resources 2021:
- Large areas of the globe recorded drier than normal conditions in 2021 – a year in which precipitation patterns were influenced by climate change and a La Nina event.
- Disturbance in hydrological cycles has left global food security management in a vulnerable state.
- Between 2001 and 2018, UN-Water reported that 74% of all-natural disasters were water-related.
- 6 billion people face inadequate access to water for at least a month per year.
- Annual glacier runoff increased initially due to the melting of glaciers until the turning point called peak water is reached after which the runoff declines.
