of global warming may also affect the atmospheric general circulation and altering the global precipitation pattern as well as changing the soil moisture contents. And, the loss of coastal wetlands reduces fish populations, especially shellfish. It affects the ecosystem as well. Besides, the regional rainfall patterns will also change. Some may have more rainfall, while others may have less. Furthermore, higher temperatures would increase evaporation. They would create new stresses for many water management systems.
