We are constantly speeding up water runoff from continents by draining the land: via draining ditches via compressed surfacesh via broken pores in man-made slopes above roads. By doing this, we are draining and drying out the land solar energy heats up the Earth's drained and dried our surface, subsequently heatingup therising airwhich is then retained in the Earth's atmosphere thanks to greenhouse gases. As a result, we can see: Global warming / Melting of glaciers and ice caps/Rising of ocean levels/Floods/Droughts / Lowering of river levels/Lowering of groundwater levels / Landslides / Drying of streams.
