Not exact matches
Eventually the resulting decline in
glacier extent
reduces the area available for melting causing a decrease in
glacier runoff.
A continuing trend in
glacier loss will seriously decrease the water reserves stored as ice,
reducing melt season
runoff.
The continuing loss of mountain
glaciers and the resulting
reduced meltwater
runoff could create unprecedented water shortages and political instability in some of the world's more densely populated countries.
This rapid
glacier retreat is evident in the
reduced stream flow and increased
runoff in the area.
