The total amount of water stored in groundwater, lakes and rivers, soil moisture, vegetation and ice and snow – has been in decline since mid-2010s.
Read the WMO #StateOfWater Report 2025 to learn about what this means for the water we depend on. https://bit.ly/WMOStateofWater2025Report

2025 was the 4th consecutive year of widespread glacier loss across all regions.

Each bar shows the global glacier mass change in one hydrological year, from 1976 onwards. 🔵 = ice gain; 🔴 = ice loss.

2025 was one of the driest years for rivers globally in 35 years. Over 36% of global basin areas experienced below-normal flows. Our declining freshwater storage poses serious risks.

Rivers across the globe in 2025 had one of the driest years in more than 3 decades.

The WMO Global #StateOfWater Report 2025 shows a continuation of the long-term decline in Earth’s freshwater storage and in glacier retreat.

In 2024, every glaciated region lost ice for the third year in a row.
Glacier meltwater adds about 1.2 mm to global sea level in a single year, raising flood risks in coastal zones.

The report stresses the cascading impacts of too much or too little water on economies and society.

Future reports will include more data, supported by initiatives like the Global Hydrological Status and Outlook System (HydroSOS), coordinated by UKCEH.

The global water cycle has become more erratic and extreme, swinging between deluge and drought ⛈️.

UKCEH contributed to the latest @wmo-global.bsky.social #StateOfWater report. It shows that while 2024 was dry and hot overall, some areas suffered severe drought and others multiple floods.

🌡️ 2024 was the hottest year on record.

Overall, 2024 was dry and hot, but regional patterns revealed a stark contrast: some regions endured severe drought, while others faced multiple devastating floods.

How much water is too little, or too much?

In the past six years, two-thirds of rivers worldwide had too much or too little water, showing just how unpredictable and erratic the hydrological cycle has become.
