Researchers have demonstrated for the first time that runoff extremes have been dramatically increasing in response to climate and human-induced changes. Their findings show a large increase in both ...

Climate projections are crucial for adaptation and mitigation planning. The output of the latest round of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project, phase 6 (CMIP6) has been widely used in climate ...

Journal of Hydrometeorology, Vol. 8, No. 6 (December 2007), pp. 1165-1183 (19 pages) ABSTRACT In this study, the recent work of Gottschalck et al. and Ebert et al. is extended by assessing the ...

The term, runoff ratio, is the percent of drainage basin precipitation that becomes streamflow. The isoline map of runoff ratio is based on isoline maps of mean annual precipitation and runoff.

Since the mid-1980s, the percentage of precipitation that becomes streamflow in the Upper Rio Grande watershed has fallen more steeply than at any point in at least 445 years, according to a new study ...

As climate change ravages the globe, California recorded its driest water year in more than 90 years as major cities like San Francisco, Sacramento and Santa Barbara saw 'less than half' of their ...

Precipitation and runoff in California’s major river basin will not fall dramatically with climate change, according to a new federal study that shows rising temperatures will have an uneven effect on ...
