Impact of the Alamosa gap-filling radar on streamflow in the National Water Model

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
The installation of the Alamosa gap-filling radar in 2019 not only greatly improved surveillance of current precipitation in the mountain-ringed San Luis valley, but also improved estimates of rain and snow accumulation.

Enhancing Recharge in the Edwards Aquifer, Texas: Measures, Outcomes, and Lessons for Karst Aquifers

Groundwater, EarlyView.
Abstract Managed aquifer recharge is a widely adopted method that involves storing excess water underground for future use. While managed aquifer recharge has been applied globally to different aquifer types, its use in karst aquifers is less common due to the unique hydrogeological characteristics of these systems, including high permeability ...

Simulating the Impacts of Deep Geothermal Development on Shallow Hydrothermal Resources in a Rocky Mountain Rift Valley

Groundwater, EarlyView.
Abstract Numerical modeling has been widely used to assess the feasibility of geothermal energy development at sites across the world, but modeling applications simulating the potential impacts on shallow hydrothermal resources and surface water are relatively scarce. In this study, we apply the MODFLOW 6 groundwater energy (GWE) code to simulate fully

MORPHOMETRIC OF THE COLORADO RIVER HIGH BASIN, ARGENTINA

Boletín Geográfico, 2018
The Grande and Barrancas Rivers watersheds conform the upper basin of the Colorado River. They provide discharge from snow precipitated in the high mountain peaks. Morphometric and functional characteristics analysis of a basin is elementary in hydrology

Bed‐scale quantitative discrimination of hyperpycnites from intrabasinal turbidites—Results from a channelised slope system in the Upper Carboniferous Westward Ho! Formation, United Kingdom

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Features considered indicative of hyperpycnites and intrabasinal turbidites overlap. Outcrop study presented here suggests that the Westward Ho! Formation forms an 800 m high deepwater‐slope system dominated by hyperpycnites. Taking this unit, and other successions where hyperpycnites have been described, as having been deposited solely from ...

Ocean Temperatures Do Not Account for a Record-Setting Winter in the U.S. West

Atmosphere
The record-setting winter of 2022–2023 came as an answer to both figurative and literal prayers for political leaders, policy makers, and water managers reliant on snowpacks in the Upper Colorado River Basin, a vital source of water for tens of millions ...

Spatial and temporal evolution of a coastal erg margin: the Middle Jurassic Page Sandstone, southern Utah, USA

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aeolian deflationary events are erosive to static stages where sediment supply is insufficient to support bedform migration and preservation in the rock record. In the vicinity of shallow‐marine environments, inland rises of relative water table and associated generation of deflationary super surfaces may be driven by the onset of ...

The implications of climate change scenario selection for future streamflow projection in the Upper Colorado River Basin [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2012
The impact of projected 21st century climate conditions on streamflow in the Upper Colorado River Basin was estimated using a multi-model ensemble approach wherein the downscaled outputs of 112 future climate projections from 16 global climate models ...

The Role of Groundwater in Contributing to Surface Water Salinization in the Upper Colorado River Basin

Geophysical Research Letters
Freshwater salinization affects the availability of water for human use and ecosystem needs worldwide. It has been estimated that total dissolved solids (TDS) in the Colorado River Basin cause $350 million/year in damages and substantial resources are ...
