Mercury and selenium concentrations in fishes of the Upper Colorado River Basin, southwestern United States: A retrospective assessment. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2020
Mercury (Hg) and selenium (Se) are contaminants of concern for fish in the Upper Colorado River Basin (UCRB). We explored Hg and Se in fish tissues (2,324 individuals) collected over 50 years (1962-2011) from the UCRB.

Database of surface water diversion sites and daily withdrawals for the Upper Colorado River Basin, 1980–2022 [PDF]

Scientific Data
The Colorado River drains about 8% of the conterminous United States, provides water for 40 million people, and is one of the most overallocated rivers in the world. As the upper Colorado River Basin (UCOL) contributes an estimated 92% of the total basin

Climate change impacts on streamflow and subbasin-scale hydrology in the Upper Colorado River Basin. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
In the Upper Colorado River Basin (UCRB), the principal source of water in the southwestern U.S., demand exceeds supply in most years, and will likely continue to rise. While General Circulation Models (GCMs) project surface temperature warming by 3.5 to

Revisiting the application of variable infiltration capacity (VIC) model in the Colorado River Basin using SMAP and GRACE [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The Colorado River Basin (CRB) is a crucial water supply source experiencing prolonged drought conditions. Hydrologic models of the CRB have historically relied on streamflow calibration alone, limiting confidence in their representation of spatially ...
