  • The likely impact of climate change on water resources could be in the form of
    • The decline in the glaciers and the snowfields in the Himalayas.
    • Increased drought-like situations due to an overall decrease in the number of rainy days in many parts of the country.
    • Increased flood events due to an overall increase in the rainy day intensity.
