Medieval drought in the upper Colorado River Basin [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2007 New tree‐ring records of ring‐width from remnant preserved wood are analyzed to extend the record of reconstructed annual flows of the Colorado River at Lee Ferry into the Medieval Climate Anomaly, when epic droughts are hypothesized from other paleoclimatic evidence to have affected various parts of western North America.

Updated streamflow reconstructions for the Upper Colorado River Basin [PDF]
Water Resources Research, 2006 Updated proxy reconstructions of water year (October–September) streamflow for four key gauges in the Upper Colorado River Basin were generated using an expanded tree ring network and longer calibration records than in previous efforts. Reconstructed gauges include the Green River at Green River, Utah; Colorado near Cisco, Utah; San Juan near Bluff ...

Multi-scale threat assessment of riverine ecosystems in the Colorado River Basin
Ecological Indicators, 2022 Freshwater ecosystems are facing a deepening biodiversity crisis. Developing robust indicators to assess ecological integrity across large spatial scales and identifying the specific threats and pathways of impairment are thus critically needed if we are

The Budyko shape parameter as a descriptive index for streamflow loss
Frontiers in Water, 2023 Increases in evapotranspiration (ET) from global warming are decreasing streamflow in headwater basins worldwide. However, these streamflow losses do not occur uniformly due to complex topography. To better understand the heterogeneity of streamflow loss,

Irrigation intensification impacts sustainability of streamflow in the Western United States
Communications Earth & Environment, 2023 Quantifying the interconnected impacts of climate change and irrigation on surface water flows is critical for the proactive management of our water resources and the ecosystem services they provide. Changes in streamflow across the Western U.S.

Estimates of sublimation in the Upper Colorado River basin
, 2013 Snowpack stored in mountain environments is the primary source of water for the population of much of the western United States, and the loss of water through direct evaporation (sublimation) is a significant factor in the amount of runoff realized from snow melt.

What affects water quality in the Upper Colorado River basin? [PDF]
Fact Sheet, 1996 In 1991, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) began to implement the National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) program. Goals of the NAWQA program are to (1) describe water-quality conditions for a large part of the Nation’s freshwater streams, rivers, and aquifers; (2) describe how water quality is changing over time; and (3) improve the understanding of
