Scientists mapped the world’s rivers over 35 years. They found shocking changes

By Laura Paddison, CNN The world's nearly 3 million rivers are undergoing rapid and surprising changes, with potentially drastic implications for everything from drinking water supplies to flood risks, a new study finds. Scientists mapped the flow of water through every single one of the planet's rivers, every day for the past 35 years, using satellite data and computer models. What they discovered left them flabbergasted. Nearly half of the wor…

Floods, insufficient water, sinking river deltas: Hydrologists map changing river landscapes across the globe

A new study has mapped 35 years of river changes on a global scale. The work has revealed significant effects on both downstream (44% decrease in water flow) and upstream (17% flow increase) rivers, including flooding, ecosystem disruption, hydropower development interference and insufficient fresh water supplies.
