Using Recession Analysis to Characterize Watershed Responses to Drought

Creator:

Jachens, Elizabeth R.

Abstract:

In the face of climate change droughts are predicted to become more persistent, further intensifying the need for accurately predicting the timing and magnitude of summer streamflow in rivers. In order to determine the sensitivity of a watershed to drought, there is a need to describe what these drought conditions...

Present-day and future contributions of glacier melt to the Upper Middle Fork Hood River : implications for water management

Creator:

Phillippe, Jeff

Abstract:

Glaciers are effective reservoirs because they moderate variations in runoff and supply reliable flow during drought periods. Thus, there needs to be a clear understanding of the influence of glacier runoff at both the basin and catchment scale. The objectives of this study were to quantify the late summer contributions...
