The global water cycle is experiencing unprecedented stress, according to a recent report by the Global Commission on the Economics of Water. The commission warns that demand for fresh water will outstrip supply by over 40% by the end of the decade, largely due to climate change impacts. The report highlights two types of water: green water (found in plants and soils) and blue water (rivers and lakes). Climate change is altering the hydrological cycle, leading to more frequent hurricanes, typhoons, and droughts.
