Freshwater is critical to life throughout the Caribbean Increasing global carbon emissions are projected to reduce average rainfall in this region by the end of the century constraining freshwater availability while extreme rainfall events which can increase freshwater flooding impacts are expected to increase in intensity Saltwater intrusion associated with sea level rise will reduce the quantity and quality of freshwater in coastal aquifers Increasing variability in rainfall events and increasing temperatures will likely alter the distribution of ecological life zones and exacerbate existing problems in water management planning and infrastructure capacity.
