Description
Climate change will affect precipitation patterns, water temperature, and sea levels. These changes may impact drinking water quality and availability. For example, lower water levels and warmer water temperatures in a drinking water source can increase the risk of contamination. Also, rising sea levels can increase the risk of saltwater intrusion.
