The World Meteorological Organization has confirmed that 2025 has been one of the most severe drought years for rivers worldwide in over three decades, with groundwater supplies continuing to decline and glaciers retreating, threatening water security, human populations, and economies. The report explains that the water cycle has become more volatile, as river flows have decreased in over 36% of global basins, with the areas experiencing "natural" flow levels declining by between 34% and 38% compared to the average between 1991 and 2020. Additionally, terrestrial water stocks, including groundwater, rivers, and glaciers, have been declining since the mid-2010s, increasing the risks of floods and future water insecurity. The report stresses that the El Niño phenomenon will lead to increased drought risks in some regions and flooding in others, highlighting the urgent need for sustainable water management to address the escalating global water crisis.
