Global Warming Hits Rivers
Posted by Dick Richards under River News Updates
The President of American Rivers, Rebecca Wodder, released the following statement in April of this year following a global study by the National Center for Atmospheric Research:
This study confirms that global warming is hitting rivers first and worst. Whether it is shrinking water supplies in the Colorado and Columbia river basins, or more rain and flooding in basins like the Mississippi, or an increased threat of waterborne diseases, global warming threatens not only our rivers but the communities that depend on them.
