Effects of anthropogenic intervention in hydrological cycle
The modifications of Earth’s hydrology through activities that include building of dams, ground water mining, clearance of forests, draining of wetlands and urban growth have affected the sea levels. These human activities have had direct effects on the hydrological cycles leading to changes on the Earth’s water volumes. The sea and ocean waters are fed by the runoff from paved surfaces and ground water mining. The water stored behind dams, percolating water and evaporations’ from irrigated lands reduces the water that would otherwise raise the sea water levels. Although the global sea water levels have been on the XXXX due to thermal XXXXXXXXXX XX the upper ocean XXXXXX and XXXX XXX XXXXXXX XXXXXXXX, anthropogenic XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXX the rise in the XXXXX levels(XXXXXXX, 1996).
XXX filings XXXX reservoirs XXX impoundments XXXXXXXX XXXX anthropogenic XXXXXXXXXX XXXX been XXXXX XX XXXXXX the XXX XXXXX levels by several XXXXXXX XX XXXXXXXXXXX XXXXX XXXX.
