World Meteorological Organization says water cycles are becoming more erratic due to climate change as it calls for increased monitoring.

River flows around the world fell to all-time lows last year amid record heat, endangering water supplies in an era of growing demand, says a United Nations weather agency’s report.

According to the State of Global Water Resources report published by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) on Monday, there was “severe stress on global water supplies, with five consecutive years of below-normal river flows and reservoir inflows”.

Prolonged droughts cut river flows in large parts of North, Central and South America with the Mississippi and Amazon River basins reporting record low water levels in 2023, said the report, based on data going back 33 years.
