The decrease in production in the hot regions due to the high temperature. ▪ The increased demand for water. Loss of agricultural areas due to floods. ▪ Perhaps an improvement in the amount of water.
The deterioration in living standards, in hot regions, for those with no appropriate equipment, especially among the elderly, children and the poor. The increased risk of deaths due to heat waves, especially in groups with chronic diseases, children and vulnerable groups. Negative effects on the quality of surface water and groundwater, pollution in the water supply. ▪ The increased risk of deaths due to diseases and epidemics.
Heat waves are more frequent in most regions ▪ A breakdown in socio-economic systems due to property loss, flooding and increased pressure on urban infrastructure. Increased risk of food and water shortages. • Lack of water supply for domestic, industrial and urban uses. Increased risk of death and damage from flooding, and effect on health in population migration.
