Im pretty sure the total available water actually increases since all the melting glaciers and icecaps are adding water back into the cycle, but I don’t know how much of that translates into rain in areas where it can be used
Most glaciers melt some during the warm months, then are recharged by snow when it gets cold again. Meltwater from glaciers is an important source for rivers and streams.
Global heating is causing many glaciers to melt faster than they recharge. This will lead to rivers shrinking or drying up.

So we can just melt these glaciers for free fresh water?
