Global warming is one of the major effects of climate change and is caused by increased greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, leading to rising global temperatures. This temperature increase directly affects lakes, rivers, and other water bodies. Higher water temperatures reduce dissolved oxygen levels, which is essential for aquatic organisms such as fish. Low oxygen levels can lead to organism death and ecosystem imbalance. Global warming also increases water evaporation, lowering lake water levels, especially in dry regions. This affects aquatic life that depends on these water sources. It also promotes harmful algal blooms that produce toxins harmful to fish, animals, and humans. These algae reduce water quality and make it unsafe. Additionally, global warming disrupts the natural water cycle, increasing droughts and floods, affecting aquatic ecosystems. Reducing global warming is essential to protect lakes, aquatic ecosystems, and biodiversity.
