Analysis of drought determinants for the Colorado River Basin
Climatic Change, 2007Ongoing drought in the Colorado River Basin, unprecedented urban growth in the watershed, and numerical model simulations showing higher temperatures and lower precipitation totals in the future have all combined to heighten interest in drought in this region. In this investigation, we use principal components analysis (PCA) to independently assess the

The issue of large-scale water scarcity cannot be solved by politics, engineering or changes in social habits alone. The technical approach involves thinking about the Colorado River Basin systematically and rearranging the excess flows from some groups and delivering it to other underserved groups.

Decorrelation Distance Of Snow In The Colorado River Basin
12th Canadian Symposium on Remote Sensing Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium,, 2005The problem of estimating areal averages from point measurement has been extensively studied by mining engineers and hydrologists. Its application to satellite measurements has recently been introduced. The semivariaogram has been used in many geostatistical applications to estimate spatial structures of observed properties, such as mineral ...

Notes on Colorado River Basin Archaeology
American Antiquity, 1948A recent article in American Antiquity entitled “Symposium on River Valley Archaeology” summarizes the present status of one of our most important and urgent problems in American archaeology today. Additional information concerning this subject, particularly with reference to the progress made in the Colorado River Valley, should be mentioned at this ...

2000-2019 in the Colorado River Basin and Beyond
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2020In the first two decades of the 21st century the Colorado River Basin suffered a prolonged drought. Remarkably this period turned out to be arguably the most innovative and collaborative in the basin's modern human history. This working paper reviews the major events of the period, highlights some of the important policy and management achievements ...

Precipitation episodes in the upper Colorado River basin
pure and applied geophysics, 1964We wish to learn whether annual precipitation over the Colorado watershed is determined by occurrence or non-occurrence of a few large storms; or by other controls such as variations in frequency of minor disturbances. It is found that there is a semi-constant ‘noise’ level of about six inches precipitation per year, composed of small rains. Occasional

Climate and Choice in the Colorado River Basin
In the Colorado River Basin, alternatives for coping with falling stream flows associated with climate change are considered through five stylized scenarios which differ in distributional burdens and reliance on demand versus supply side approaches. This article seeks to inform policy negotiations and clarify potential economic outcomes.openaire +1 more source
Bureau of Reclamation Work in the Colorado River Basin
Journal AWWA, 1961This article discusses the development of water resources in the Colorado River Basin by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. The article discusses projects such as the construction of Hoover Dam, the 1948 Upper Colorado River Basin Compact, four storage units authorized by the Colorado River Storage Project (Glen Canyon Dam on the Colorado River in Arizona

Quality of water in the upper Colorado River basin
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1948In a drainage area as large as the Colorado River Basin there are naturally large differences in the quality of the surface waters. The chemical character of the water at six gaging stations on the Colorado River from near the headwaters to near the mouth is shown by the analyses in Table 1.It will be seen that the concentration of dissolved solids ...
