Added: 2026-05-25

[00:00:00]Oxygen, carbon, water cycles, and temperature are the major constituents of climate on planet Earth.

[00:00:07]All are the products of solar energy.

[00:00:12]Since the agricultural revolution of 1960s, [music] humanity has significantly altered the hydrological cycle.

[00:00:22]Until 2020, the average annual amount of 73,000 [music] cubic kilometers of water was released to the atmosphere from terrestrial land in the shape of evapotranspiration.

[00:00:34][music] The combined water surface [music] area of Mangla and Tarbela Dams is 541 square kilometers.

[00:00:46]The rise in water vapor is consequent of direct evaporation from the water reservoirs and increase in forest cover in northern KP have increased the greenhouse effect in northern KP and Gilgit-Baltistan.

[00:01:02]Extension in the monsoon rain by almost 50 kilometers northwest coupled with phenomena of unprecedented cloud burst, floods, and glacier outburst is a product of human interference in the natural terrestrial hydrological [music] cycle.

[00:01:20]Scientific forest management is a prerequisite for developing healthy and high-quality forests that minimize flood and forest fire disasters.
