Global warming may leave Uttarakhand's Kosi basin with less water: Study
Uttarakhand's Kosi river basin faces reduced usable water despite increased rainfall. Higher temperatures will cause more evaporation and less groundwater recharge. Peak temperatures could climb significantly by the century's end. Usable water in the basin may drop by four to seven percent. Measures like watershed management can help mitigate climate change impacts.
