Climatechangereferstothechangethatoccurred as a result of
manyyearsfromtheaverageclimatesituation in a regionalor global scale.
Thischangeoccurs in atmosphericevents. The main reasonforthis
is; Increasingthegreenhouseeffect of humanactivitiescauses global warming.
Climatechange; cooperationwith global warming. Thecause of
global warming is; is thegreenhouseeffect. Thegreenhouseeffect is theincrease
of thetemperaturevalue of thegreenhousegases in theatmosphere on theearth.
Climatechangethatoccursdueto
global warmingcausessocialandeconomicproblems, especiallytheenvironment. One of
theareaswherethiseffect is seen is waterresources. Theavailabilityandcontinuity
of waterresources has a veryimportantplace in keepinglivingthingsalive.
Forthisreason, studiesfortheprotection of waterresourcesareveryimportant.
Thewater in theworld is in
constantmotion. There is a watercycle. That; Available in solid, liquid,
gaseous form. Climatechangeaffectsthewatercyclenegatively. Drought, famine,
floods, decreasedsnowfallarethenegativeeffects of climatechange on
thewatercycle. As global warmingincreases, waterdemandwillincrease.

Theamount of floodto global warming is constantlyincreasing.
Themostimportantcause of

climatechange on waterresourcesmanifestsitselfthroughprecipitation.
Elementsthatdeterminethewaterresources of a country;
