Researchers sound alarm after findings from 35-year study of nearly 3 million rivers: 'Creating unforeseen issues'
A recent study that spanned more than three decades of data and analyzed nearly 3 million rivers revealed a dramatic drop in flow rates.
It's part of a profound transformation affecting global river systems that researchers have identified.
What's happening?
Researchers from the University of Cincinnati and the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, completed a roughly 35-year study on water flow that included a comprehensive analysis of millions of rivers around the world.
Their study, published in the journal Science, found that average flow volumes have risen in headwaters and dropped in basin outlets since 1984. One result of these changes is a higher risk of major floods.
