Part of situation: Global freshwater depletion and water cycle instability (6 clusters)

WMO report warns of global freshwater depletion and erratic water cycles

global water crisis WMO report freshwater depletion glacier melting climate change

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has released its 2025 State of Global Water Resources report, warning that the planet is depleting its freshwater ‘savings account.’ The report highlights that 2025 was one of the driest years for global rivers in the last 35 years, with over one-third of river basins experiencing below-normal flows.

Terrestrial water storage—including groundwater, lakes, snow, and ice—has been on a continuous decline since approximately 2014–2016. In 2025, global freshwater storage levels were 42% below historical norms. Additionally, all 19 major monitored glacial regions recorded ice mass loss for the fourth consecutive year. Between 2023 and 2025, approximately 1,400 gigatons of glacier ice melted.

WMO Secretary-General Celeste Saulo noted that these slow-moving reserves traditionally act as a buffer against drought, but their depletion means single dry seasons are now more likely to escalate into full-scale water crises. The water cycle is becoming increasingly erratic, characterized by extreme shifts between severe droughts and devastating flash floods, driven by climate change and human activity.
