Table 3: Dominant driver of significant changes in water availability due to HI and its origin.
Farmers, pastoralists, fishing communities and town dwellers are vulnerable to changes in water availability and agricultural productivity.
Risk-management procedures have already been taken by some countries in response to expected changes in water availability.
Growth ring formation probably evolved late in the Paleozoic Era in response to seasonal changes in water availability.
Reservoir operations and LULCC were perceived by all GHMs to be the dominant driver of changes in water availability due to HI.
Bacteria typically respond faster than fungi to changes in water availability, albeit with a wide range of responses in the bacterial community [12, 13].
Reservoir operations and LULCC are the dominant drivers of all HI-driven changes in water availability in regions inhabited by 78.1% (77.6 82.6%) of the global population.
Table 4: Relative influence of HI on changes in water availability over 1971 2010 compared with the trend in climate change impacts.
Changes in water availability were found to have stupendous effects on taproot depth, lateral root length and ramet quantity.
