Linking Streamflow Trends with Land Cover Change in a Southern US Water Tower
Characterizing streamflow trends is important for water resources management. Streamflow conditions, and trends thereof, are critical drivers of all aspects of stream geomorphology, sediment and nutrient transport, and ecological processes. Using the non-parametric modified Mann-Kendall test, we …

Understanding the causes of streamflow changes in the Eurasian Arctic
Since the 1930s, streamflow from Eurasian rivers discharging to the Arctic Ocean has been increasing. Much of this change has been attributed to increased precipitation, but recent studies show inconsistencies in long-term streamflow and precipitation trends. Alternatively, these inconsistencies …

AUGUST STREAM DISCHARGE TRENDS PORTEND IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE NORTHERN ROCKIES
… chapter addresses historic August discharge trends across the NR and examines the frequency of low discharge over time. Using historic discharge data from United States Geologic Survey’s national water information system web interface, we analyzed data for trends of 40-59 years. Combining …

Data-driven analyses of watersheds as coupled human-nature systems
… change and human activity drive non-stationary trends in the hydrologic cycle, which make watersheds more difficult to manage. In the 21st century, successful management of water resources requires an improved understanding of the emergent properties of coupled human and natural systems and …

MODELLING CURRENT AND FUTURE WATER RESOURCES AVAILABILITY IN AN ALPINE CATCHMENT EXPLOITED FOR HYDROPOWER PRODUCTION
… The precipitation corrections and the streamflow simulations were evaluated by comparing them with the observed data by performance indices. Among the corrections tested, the spatial method obtained by summing the radar trend with the ordinary kriging interpolation of residuals proved …

Lake Michigan Tributary Characteristics, Nutrient Loading Trends, and River Plume Dynamics
In response to the increasing frequency of water quality impairment near tributary outlets, understanding the delivery of nutrients to the nearshore region of the Great Lakes is becoming increasingly important. This study assessed the transport of nutrients from tributaries to the nearshore region …
