Caption from Oceanus magazine, vol. 49, no. 3, pg. 28:
Global Rivers Observatory scientists have targeted major river basins from the tropics to the Arctic. Each river has its own characteristics, and each river faces potential changes. Arctic watersheds, for example, will experience thawing permafrost. The Amazon and Congo face deforestation from logging. A large new dam and changing monsoons will affect the Yangtze.
