Climate change threatens mighty rivers Some of the mightiest rivers on the planet, including the Ganges, the Niger, and the Yellow river in China, are drying up because of climate change, a study of global waterways warned yesterday.The study by the National Centre for Atmospheric research in Colorado found that global warming has had a far more damaging impact on rivers than had been realised and that, overwhelmingly, those rivers in highly populated areas were the most severely affected. That could threaten food and water supply to millions of people living in some of the world's poorest regions, the study warned.'In the subtropics this [decrease] is devastating, but the continent affected most is Africa,' said NCAR's Kevin Trenberth.

Called the Flood Forecasting Centre, it will monitor river levels in England and Wales and match them with more detailed local weather forecasts to provide the emergency services, local authorities and water companies with better data on the the kind of surface water floods that devastated Hull, Sheffield and other cities in 2007.A merger of weather forecasters and hydrological experts led to the new centre.
