# Climate change is spurring increasingly erratic and extreme swings between deluge and drought globally, with cascading repercussions for societies. The UN’s World Meteorological Organisation said in a report that the world’s water cycle was becoming ever more unpredictable, with shrinking glaciers, droughts, unbalanced river basins and severe floods wreaking havoc. The agency’s annual report on the State of Global Water Resources shows quite clearly that the water cycle has become increasingly erratic and extreme, with cascading impacts on infrastructure, agriculture, energy, health, and economic activities.
