More rapid evaporation and drying of soils worsen drought conditions,&#8221; Saulo said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/scx1.b-cdn.net\/csz\/news\/800a\/2024\/a-shepherd-leads-his-f.jpg\" alt=\"A shepherd leads his flock along the dried-up Studen Kladenets reservoir bed in southern Bulgaria in August\" title=\"A shepherd leads his flock along the dried-up Studen Kladenets reservoir bed in southern Bulgaria in August.\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A shepherd leads his flock along the dried-up Studen Kladenets reservoir bed in southern Bulgaria in August.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\">Massive glacier melt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Water is either too abundant or insufficient, plunging many countries into increasingly difficult situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Last year, Africa was the most heavily impacted continent in terms of human casualties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">In Libya, two dams collapsed due to a major&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/tags\/flood\/\">flood<\/a>&nbsp;in September 2023, claiming more than 11,000 lives and affecting 22 percent of the population, according to the WMO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Floods also hit the Greater Horn of Africa, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Mozambique and Malawi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Currently, 3.6 billion people have insufficient access to fresh water at least once a month per year, according to the UN. That figure is expected to rise to more than five billion by 2050.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">For the past three years, more than 50 percent of river catchments have been drier than usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Meanwhile the inflow to reservoirs has been below normal in many parts of the world over the past half decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/scx1.b-cdn.net\/csz\/news\/800a\/2024\/world-meteorological-o.jpg\" alt=\"World Meteorological Organization chief Celeste Saulo\" title=\"World Meteorological Organization chief Celeste Saulo.\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">World Meteorological Organization chief Celeste Saulo.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Rising temperatures also mean glaciers have melted at unprecedented rates, losing more than 600 billion tonnes of water, the worst in 50 years of observations, according to preliminary data for September 2022 to August 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">&#8220;Melting ice and glaciers threaten long-term water security for many millions of people.
