Meghalaya Rejuvenates 741 Water Sources Amid Climate Change

Efforts to enhance water security and adapt to climate change are becoming increasingly critical globally. In Maryland, the proposed SB 930 bill aims to establish a Managed Aquifer Recharge Pilot Program, allowing counties to develop sustainable water systems and improve local water supply infrastructures. Meanwhile, in Fiji, Deputy Prime Minister Biman Prasad emphasized integrating climate resilience into national development strategies amidst threats from heavy rains and flooding, highlighting the Flood Alleviation Project as a key initiative. In Canada, water utilities are adopting adaptive planning methods to better prepare for unpredictable climate impacts, guided by a national project led by the Canadian Water Network. Additionally, the Meghalaya government in India is working to rejuvenate over 741 drying water sources, acknowledging the significant impact of climate change on local water supplies. These initiatives reflect a broader global trend towards sustainable water management and climate adaptation.
