To effectively mitigate the risks posed by severe global climate change, this book outlines the origins of Earth's primordial and endogenous waters, which together constitute the source of the global water cycle, and describes how this system shaped the abiotic Earth into a natural environment conducive to the emergence, survival, growth, and activity of life. Changes in the Earth's water cycle, driven by factors such as tectonic plate dynamics, volcanic activity, earthquakes, and human activities, have led to geological desiccation, surface aridity, and ongoing climatic shifts. The book also details the rationale and measures for restoring the Earth's water cycle to effectively manage global climate change, which is repeatedly reaching record-breaking levels.
