This bibliometric analysis provides a detailed overview of global research on the impact of climate change on water quality from 2010 to 2024. With increasing concerns about how climate change exacerbates water pollution, this study highlights key research trends, influential authors, leading institutions, and significant research areas in the field. By using advanced bibliometric techniques such as co-authorship analysis, citation analysis, and trend topic analysis, the study systematically explores the evolution of research linking climate change with water quality. It sheds light on the research focus areas, such as the effects of extreme weather events, temperature shifts, and altered hydrological cycles on freshwater ecosystems. Furthermore, this study identifies emerging contaminants and technological innovations related to climate-induced water quality changes. The results provide a comprehensive understanding of the current state of climate change's impact on water quality and offer guidance for future research efforts aimed at mitigating its detrimental effects on water resources and public health. This work contributes to forming strategies that help address challenges posed by changing climatic conditions and their effects on water systems globally
