Climate change upends 6,000 years of human water control

Original: For 6,000 years humanity controlled water. Climate change is changing the equation

A new analysis argues that for roughly 6,000 years humans managed water through dams, irrigation and diversion, but climate change is now disrupting that equilibrium. Intensifying droughts, floods and shifting rainfall patterns are overwhelming infrastructure designed for a more stable climate, forcing societies to rethink how they store, share and govern freshwater resources.

Why now: Growing extreme weather events are making water management failures a pressing global concern
