Climate change, human activity causing global water cycles to become 'increasingly erratic': World Meteorological Organization_我的网站

A |     As we mark the 101st birth anniversary of Raj Kapoor, it feels like the perfect moment to look back at one of the most memorable chapters in Filmfare history, a night that celebrated the artistry, emotion, and timeless appeal of the showman of Indian cinema. Let’s travel back to May 1961, when the 9th Filmfare Awards unfolded as a landmark evening. Raj Kapoor was honoured with the Filmfare Best Actor award for his unforgettable performance in Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behti Hai, a role that beautifully captured his deep-rooted connection with Indian culture and storytelling.                was awarded the Filmfare Best Actor for his spectacular performance in Jis Desh Men Ganga Behti Hai at the 9th Filmfare awards. ❤️Witness the magic once again as we return to Gujarat for the… pic.twitter.com/9C1AXn6S3s     — Filmfare (@filmfare) September 14, 2025                    That year, Raj Kapoor took home the Best Actor trophy for Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behti Hai. The film led the night with 10 nominations, followed closely by Gunga Jumna with 7. Interestingly, though released in 1960, Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behti Hai was not considered for the 8th edition but went on to dominate the 4th Filmfare Awards with 4 wins, including Best Film and Best Actor.     Another highlight from the evening was Shubha Khote’s double nomination in the Best Supporting Actress category for her roles in Gharana and Sasural. However, the award eventually went to Nirupa Roy for her powerful performance in Chhaya.                                                                 View this post on Instagram          A post shared by Filmfare (@filmfare)                         From legends like Dilip Kumar, Raj Kapoor, and Nargis in the early decades to the unmatched charisma of Amitabh Bachchan, Rekha, and Rishi Kapoor, every generation has left a timeless stamp on the Filmfare stage. More recently, Shah Rukh Khan’s witty hosting, Salman Khan’s high-energy acts, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s poise, Deepika Padukone’s elegance, Priyanka Chopra’s dynamism, and Ranveer Singh’s infectious energy have kept the magic alive.Also Read: Filmfare Flashback: Looking Back at Dilip Kumar and Nutan’s Wins for Devdas and Seema。    Climate change and human activity are causing the world's hydrological cycle to spin out of balance, according to a new report from the World Meteorological Organization.Global water cycles are becoming "increasingly erratic" due to droughts, extreme rainfall and the increased melting of snow, ice and glaciers -- all of which are a threat to long-term water security, the 2022 State of Global Water Resources report, released Thursday, found.About 3.6 billion people already face inadequate access to water at least a month per year, according to the United Nations. That number is expected to increase to 5 billion by 2050, officials said.Extreme glacier loss is occurring from the Tibetan Plateau to mountain ranges in the Himalayas, the Alps and the Andes -- all of which threaten the water security for millions of people who live on the rivers supplied by the melting."Glaciers and ice cover are retreating before our eyes," WMO Secretary-General Petteri Tallas said in a statement.In addition, rising temperatures have accelerated, causing the atmosphere to hold more moisture and facilitate more heavy downpour episodes that lead to flooding, Tallas said, adding that the "overwhelming majority" of disasters are water-related.More than 50% of the global catchment areas in large river basins experienced deviations from normal discharge conditions in 2022, according to the report. Most of these areas were drier than normal, but a smaller percentage of basins displayed above or much above normal conditions.Hotter temperatures are also causing more evaporation and much more intense droughts, Tallas said.Throughout 2022, anomalies in soil moisture and evaporation also experienced deviations, according to the report. Places like Europe saw increased evaporation and decreased soil moisture and river flows during the summer due to a major heat wave and drought, which led to challenges in agriculture as well as the shutdown of some hydrological power plants due to lack of cooling water, according to the report.Severe droughts impacted other parts of Europe in Summer 2022, posing transportation challenges on the Danube and Rhine rivers in Germany, and disrupting nuclear power production in France. In the U.S., the navigation on the Mississippi River was affected by extremely low water levels due to the continuous drought occurring in the region.The switch from La Nina in 2022 to El Nino conditions in 2023 will likely also have a major impact on water cycles around the world, the researchers said.The WMO is calling for improved monitoring and data-sharing across borders, as well as an increase in investments to facilitate international collaboration, in order to help society cope with increasing water extremes, whether it be too much or too little. They are also calling for more early warnings, and coordinated water management policy, according to the report.。
