Scientists Discover Cause of Dramatic Shrinkage in World's Largest Lakes

More than half of the world's largest lakes and reservoirs have lost significant amounts of water over the last three decades, with climate change and excessive water use being the primary culprits, according to a new study. The report found that 53% of the lakes and reservoirs had lost significant amounts of water, with a net decline of around 22 billion metric tons a year. The study highlights the need for proper water management as many parts of the world become hotter and drier.
