Answer:

Temperature: Water temperature is one of the most important factors affecting water systems. Temperature can affect dissolved oxygen levels, chemical and biological processes, species compositions, water density and stratification, and life-stages in different marine organisms.

Climate: Access to a fresh water supply is affected by climate factors such as low levels of rainfall and high temperatures which lead to water deficits.

Water quality: Factors that can influence whether a contaminant will lead to health effects include the type of contaminant, its concentration in the water, individual susceptibility, the amount of water consumed, and the duration of exposure
