Abstract

The occurrence of greenhouse effects is a result of the accumulation of specific gases covering the planet human reside, and the general term for these gases refers to greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen oxide, and fluorinated gases. Sunshine radiates from the effects of greenhouse gases into the planet Earth's surface, and the heat from the sun is ensnared and radiates back into the surface of the Earth. The negative impacts of global warming have resulted in hydrological cycle instability, which has led to water scarcity because it determines the availability of water for the community's many uses, most notably agricultural purposes. Africa is one of the most sensitive continents that are prone to climate change and variability. Climate change's direct implications on the water-food-energy nexus are expected to pose a growing quantity and variety of dangers to life and livelihood in Africa. This research examines the consequences of global warming on African water resources, focusing on four regions of the continent: West Africa, North Africa, East Africa, and South East Africa, all of which are experiencing water insecurity in their respective locations. This review aims to describe the relationship between global warming and water resources in Africa.
