DIRECTIONS FOR WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT FOR COPING WITH CLIMATE CHANGE

1 Introduction Lab researchers in an American university put a frog into a beaker.The beaker was then heated by an alcohol lamp.The goal of the experiment was to observe the frog’s reaction.Because the upper part of the beaker was open,the frog had ample opportunity to escape.The frog,however,was boiled.It was too late when the frog realized the situation.This is so-called“Boiled frog syndrome.Changes are gradual;they do not suddenly arrive at a gigantic scale.Most changes are imperceptible and gradual. Boiled frog syndromeoccurs when progression of change is not perceived.Responding to climate change necessitates enhanced ability to perceive change.Prompt understanding and responses to climate change are necessary to prevent victimization of human race.
