IMPACT OF GLOBAL WARMING AND CLIMATE CHANGE ON YAMUNA RIVER AT AGRA.

Yamuna, India?s second longest river, rises in the Garhwal Himalayas, where climate change is affecting the availability of water. The flow in the river has become more uncertain, sometimes too much, often too little. The effects of global warming upon Yamuna river in the end largely depends on the location of the Yamuna river or stream. Some of the impact loctation such as Nizamuddin Bridge, Mathura downstream and Agra downstream shows the presence of cadmium, nickel, iron, zinc and chromium in Yamuna River. Rapid industrialization and urbanization in India are responsible for the huge increase in the demand for water. The inefficient management of the resource has led to deterioration in water quality, posing new challenges for water management and conservation. A thickening layer of carbon dioxide pollution, mostly from power plants and automobiles that traps heat in the atmosphere. Population of low latitude regions bank of Yamuna river at Agra increasing water resources are likely to become more stressed in many regions, especially as global warming intensifies. Climate change is likely to affect Yamuna river due to change in precipitation and evapo-transpiration.
