@article{Howard2016ClimateCA, title={Climate Change and Water and Sanitation: Likely Impacts and Emerging Trends for Action}, author={G. Howard and R. Calow and A. MacDonald and J. Bartram}, journal={Annual Review of Environment and Resources}, year={2016}, volume={41}, pages={253-276} }
Climate change represents the most significant challenge of the twenty-first century and poses risks to water and sanitation services. Concerns for water supply include damage to infrastructure from flooding, loss of water sources due to declining rainfall and increasing demand, and changes in the water quality of water sources and within distribution of water. Sanitation concerns include damage and loss of services from floods and reduced carrying capacity of waters receiving wastewater. Key… CONTINUE READING
