Abstract
Widespread, rapid, and intensifying climate change plays an important role in drinking water quality. By scientifically exploring the interrelated mechanisms between climate change and drinking water quality, professionals can better adapt and optimize the water management and thereby ensure drinking water safety. Here, a new concept regarding water quality under the conditions of climate change is proposed due to the potential long-time and far-reaching impacts.
