Recently, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) released its 3rd edition of the State of Global Water Resources Report, revealing that 2023 was the driest year for global rivers in the past 33 years.
Understanding the Global Water Crisis
Factors Contributed to the Driest Year for Global Rivers
In Asia, the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Mekong River basins also faced similarly dire conditions,reflecting a global trend of declining water availability.
The transition from La Niña to El Niño conditions, as well as the positive phase of the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) contributed to this extreme heat and diverse weather impacts ranging from heavy rains and floods to droughts.
This extreme heat has led to increased evaporation rates, further diminishing river flows and exacerbating existing water shortages.
Specifically, reservoirs in India, especially along the west coast, experienced below- and much-below-average inflows.
In 2023, 19% of monitored wells showed much below-average levels, while 11% recorded below-average levels. Additionally, 40% were average, and 20% were much above average.
