There’s a set amount of water on land, in oceans, and in the air (as water vapor and as clouds).
The amounts at each are continually changing in the natural water cycle.
Climate change warmth is causing more moisture to evaporate faster and that’s water that could’ve fed the water table and the connected streams that feed rivers and lakes.
The extra ~~moisturizer~~ moisture in the air amplifies the trapping of heat (the emitted infrared light by stuff on ground cannot pass through water nor co2, so its energy is delayed from leaving the Earth while the heat of sunlight is adding more, therefore the extra buildup of heat is evaporating the water on Earth’s surface faster.
