March 21 2008: Lester Brown, Earth Policy Institute - The world is now facing a climate-driven shrinkage of river-based irrigation water supplies.

In the Ganges, the Yellow, and the Yangtze river basins, where irrigated agriculture depends heavily on rivers, this loss of dry-season flow will shrink harvests. - Environmental News Network
