Abstract
Abstract Sustainability of water resources assumes great concern in view of global climate change. In this study, descriptive, thematic and mechanism analyses of current literature were carried out with the aim of understanding linkages among climate variability, climate change and water resources, bridging knowledge gaps and recommending framework for future research. Though a large body of research attempted on themes of climate variability and water resource, understanding on how water systems will likely to respond to a changing climate remained under-emphasized. The study calls for timely and effective management of water resources using climate scenario-driven data, reliable models and policy beliefs.
