Spatiotemporal differences in dominant drivers of streamflow evolution on the Loess Plateau

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Previous studies have found that climate change and underlying surface change are the most direct and important drivers of the streamflow change in the Yellow River Basin.

Drivers of spatial and temporal variability of streamflow in the Incomati River basin [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2014
Abstract. The Incomati is a semi-arid trans-boundary river basin in southern Africa, with a high variability of streamflow and competing water demands from irrigated agriculture, energy, forestry and industries. These sectors compete with environmental flows and basic human water needs, resulting in a "stressed" water resource system.

Changing Water Resources in the Indus Basin: A Multi‐Model Budyko‐Based Analysis

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Budyko‐based analysis evaluates historical (1962–2005) and future hydroclimatic change across the Indus River Basin. Budyko shifts indicate rising atmospheric evaporative demand and increasing energy limitation under future scenarios. ABSTRACT Assessing hydroclimatic variability and future water availability is crucial for sustainable water‐resource ...

Streamflow variability and optimal capacity of run‐of‐river hydropower plants [PDF]

Water Resources Research, 2012
The identification of the capacity of a run‐of‐river plant which allows for the optimal utilization of the available water resources is a challenging task, mainly because of the inherent temporal variability of river flows. This paper proposes an analytical framework to describe the energy production and the economic profitability of small run‐of‐river

Streamflow variability and the role of snowmelt in a marginal snow environment [PDF]

Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2020
Snowmelt in alpine regions supports hydroelectric power generation, water supply, and agricultural production. These regions are warming, and the impact on streamflow of changes in precipitation and the proportion falling as snow is of interest. We investigate the seasonality and interannual variability of streamflow in the Australian Alps, a key ...

Proglacial lake records of Holocene glacier behaviour and catchment processes in Slettedalen, Northeast Greenland

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Constraining Arctic catchment response to Holocene climate change is vital for understanding future environments. We present detailed sedimentological, geochemical and grain size end‐member analysis of two Holocene (~7.0 ka to present) lake sequences, S1 and S2, close to Zackenberg, Northeast Greenland.

Multiscale temporal variability and regional patterns in 555 years of conterminous U.S. streamflow [PDF]

, 2017
The development of paleoclimate streamflow reconstructions in the conterminous United States (CONUS) has provided water resource managers with improved insights into multidecadal and centennial scale variability that cannot be reliably detected using ...

Hydrological response to twenty-first century climate change in the Amu Darya Basin, Central Asia

Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies
Study regions: Amu Darya River, a transboundary river originated in the high mountains of Central Asia, provides water resources for 43 million people. The river is a hot spot for research and of high tension and conflicts among nearby countries.

Hydrologic similarity among catchments under variable flow conditions [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2011
An assessment of regional similarity in catchment stream response is often needed for accurate predictions in ungauged catchments. However, it is not clear whether similarity among catchments is preserved at all flow conditions.

Future shift in winter streamflow modulated by the internal variability of climate in southern Ontario [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2020
Fluvial systems in southern Ontario are regularly affected by widespread early-spring flood events primarily caused by rain-on-snow events. Recent studies have shown an increase in winter floods in this region due to increasing winter temperature and ...
