Consumers benefit from abundant freshwater access, lower hydroelectric costs, and recreational opportunities. However, climate change threatens these water resources, potentially increasing water scarcity risks and utility costs in the long term.
Governments may prioritize water resource management, hydropower infrastructure investment, and climate adaptation policies. Potential regulations on water usage, environmental protection of glacial lakes, and cross-border water agreements may emerge.
