Water-related risks include natural hazards and human-induced impacts associated with water that affect both the environment and societies. They mainly involve floods, droughts, landslides, water pollution, soil erosion, sea-level rise, and health risks linked to contaminated water. These risks are often intensified by climate change, urbanization, and unsustainable land use. Understanding water-related risks helps improve prevention, risk assessment, and management strategies in order to reduce damage to ecosystems, infrastructure, and human life.
