Abstract

There are two types of causes which can induce change in the climate of a region, namely, natural and human induced causes. The change in climate due to volcanic activity, changes in solar output or change in the earth’s orbit around the sun can are examples of natural causes. The human induced causes include but not limited to burning of fossil fuels and conversion of forest or agricultural lands. As a result of the change in regular pattern of climate both water and energy sector has been severely effected. The effect is dominant on the urban as well as rural environment.
