According to a new study by Switzerland’s University of Berne, people are becoming more dependent on mountains as a source of water, due to climate change making many low lands drier.

However, the effects of global warming are also changing the snow melt such that there is now less water available from the mountains than in times past. These factors in turn are causing difficulties for farmers who are dependent on the water sources for growing food.

Our heartfelt thanks, University of Berne scientists, for calling our attention to the vital importance of our water resources. May your message encourage us all toward sustainable actions to save our earthly abode.
