गर्म होते महासागर, ऑक्सीजन की कमी और अम्लीकरण : महासागरों में 10 गुना बढ़ेंगे 'Hot Days'
एक अध्ययन से पता चलता है कि समुद्री लू या हीटवेव (असामान्य रूप से उच्च समुद्री तापमान की अवधि) जो पहले हर साल लगभग 20 दिनों तक होती थी (1970-2000 के बीच), वह बढ़कर 220 से 250 दिन प्रति वर्ष हो सकती है। जानिए क्या होंगे इसके परिणाम?

Draft National Water Policy 2012 and mainstreaming climate change adaptation
Now-a-days, climate change or global warming is one of the growing concerns in the natural resource management. According to the United Nation 2008 report ‘Humanitarian implications of climate change - Mapping emerging trends and risk hotspots’, India is one of the largest and most important regions of high overall human vulnerability. Climate change phenomenon is closely related to changes in monsoon behaviour and temperature. Variability in rainfall and temperature has a definite impact on water availability, groundwater recharge, agriculture and livestock production, livelihoods and health. Eshwar Kale of WoTR, Pune writes about the issue.

Climate change issue is being loudly debated on international level to reduce emission of various gases, and each nation’s responsibility to control the emission.
Deep multi-aquifer tube wells are responsible for groundwater depletion & global warming: It is curable
There is a correlation between groundwater depletion and global warming. Un-pumped lost groundwater is still not estimated in the study of groundwater depletion.
The correct root cause of global warming should be : due to uncontrolled deeper muli-aquifer tube wells, impermeable rock layers got damaged by billions of hole in Ground, consequently there is an Intra-Bore Well Flow of groundwater between two Aquifers, resulting “Groundwater Depletion”, the water which we lost without pumping. After Depletion we have lack of Evaporation from Ground to have insufficient vapours in the atmosphere to abstract the Solar Radiation, which heats up the Ground, that is transferred in the atmosphere to melt the glaciers.

The issues of climate change, water and energy are central to any attempt for bridging the gap between “developed” and “developing” nations. These three critical issues have thus far been addressed in isolation from one other, in countries like India.
Climate change and water sources: Strengthening community preparedness and water use regulations hold the key
Climate change is one of the most serious threats to the environment, health and economy of our nation as well as the whole world. Recent scientific studies show that global warming is already causing environmental changes that will have significant global economic and social impacts. As the world's 4th largest emitter of greenhouse gases, India has to juggle the imperative demand for economic development with pressures for greater efficiency in the use of energy.

Reviving dying springs: A paper documenting the Sikkim experience of groundwater recharge using geo-hydrology
With mountain communities dependent of springs for both domestic uses and for irrigation, conservation of these springs is crucial. However several factors, of which climate change is one, are leading to a drying up of springs. This paper reports on Sikkim's experience with using geo-hydrological knowledge to plan recharge structures. It concludes that this increases the efficiency of recharge measures.
