Abstract : Climate change is considered as one of the threaten to humanity and other organisms’ survival, as well as it considered as threaten to the availability of abiotic resources. Indeed, various research done to study the impact of climate change on the environment across the world, at the same time various research done to come up with plan for adaptation and mitigation with climate change impact. Further, most of the countries across the world either they have their own plan, or they work in collaboration with others to protect their natural resources from climate change impact and find alternative resources to manage the demand increases specifically on water, energy, and land which needed for economy development and human survival. The major purpose of this paper is to study the climate change impact on water resources of Bahrain and review the actions taken by the government in this regard. The change in the atmospheric temperature, the amount of precipitation, the amount of the ground water, and the raise of sea level were reviewed for a specific period. Simultaneously, the actions taken by the government either by establishing committees or starting projects were traced. The result of this study shows that there is a critical impact of the change in the climate on water resources in Bahrain. Further, reviewing the action taken by the government give an indication that impact is noticed, and such actions will show a result in the future through reduction on the impact of climate change on water resources in Bahrain or through finding alternative water resources.
