Managing Colorado River risk [PDF]
Science, 2021 In the 1920s, E. C. LaRue, a hydrologist at the United States Geological Survey, did an analysis of the Colorado River Basin that revealed the river could not reliably meet future water demands. No one heeded his warning. One hundred years later, water flow through the Colorado River is down by 20% and the basin's Lake Powell and Lake Mead—the nation's

Development of streamflow projections under changing climate conditions over Colorado River basin headwaters [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2011 The current drought over the Colorado River Basin has raised concerns that the US Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) may impose water shortages over the lower portion of the basin for the first time in history. The guidelines

The impact of bedrock meander cutoffs on 50 kyr scale incision rates, San Juan River, Utah [PDF]
Earth Surface DynamicsIncision rates of major rivers may reflect the effects of drainage reorganization, hillslope processes, tectonic uplift, climate, the properties of rocks into which rivers incise, and other autogenic processes.

Growth rates and scales of sand banks in the Colorado River Delta
Ciencias Marinas, 1999 A linear stability analysis was carried out to investigate the sand bank formation in the Colorado River Delta. A truncated solution of the vorticity equation was included in the bottom evolution equation in order to evaluate the initial growth rates of
