Streamflows-
     Projected increases in annual mean streamflow:
          - High latitudes
          - Southeast Asia
     Projected decreases in annual mean streamflow:
          - Australia
          - Central Asia
          - Mediterranean
          - Southern Africa
     Uncertain streamflows:
          - Mid-latitudes.
     Streamflow during low-flow periods (such as
     summer months) is projected to decrease in
     many areas due to evaporation.
     Warmer temperatures would cause earlier snow
     melt, causing the streamflow peak period to move
     from spring to winter.

Water Availability-
     Today (year 2001) approximately 1.7 billion
     people live in water-stressed areas. By 2025, this
     number is projected to increase to 5 billion,
     depending on the rate of population growth.

Water Demand-
     Per capita, demand for water will not likely
     increase, but depending on the area, agricultural
     withdrawals will increase or decrease due to
     changes in precipitation/evaporation.

Water Quality-
     Climate change will degrade the water quality in
     the following ways:
         - By increasing the temperature
         - Increasing sediment and pollutants in water
           sources due to an increase in flooding.
