There's increasing population, there's increasing uses of water from industry and agriculture, irrigation and so on, and then we have the climate factor, which is what our study is about. In the 2009 study, Trenberth and his colleagues identified the influence of climate change on rainfall as the main cause of river decline. In general, when precipitation occurs, it's a bit heavier than it used to be. So we get - especially in the United States - heavier rainfall but perhaps, with some of them being a little bit further in between events. He said such fluctuations can create an even drier climate, further impacting river flows. Trenberth said because human populations depend on rivers, we need to carefully manage our water supply.
