Currently, many people are experiencing climate change on a day-to-day basis through water-related impacts such as the increased frequency and intensity of heavy precipitation (high confidence) (Section 4.2.1.1, Seneviratne et al., 2021); accelerated melting of glaciers (high confidence) (Section 4.2.2, Douville et al., 2021); changes in frequency, magnitude and timing of floods (high confidence) (Section 4.2.4, Seneviratne et al., 2021); more frequent and severe droughts in some places (high confidence) (Section 4.2.5, Seneviratne et al., 2021); decline in groundwater storage and reduction in recharge (medium confidence) (Section 4.2.6, Douville et al., 2021) and water quality deterioration due to extreme events
