Bayesian inference of historical streamflow changes suggests further stress in the Colorado River Basin

Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies
Study region: Colorado River Basin (CRB), North America Study focus: Bayesian inference is used to analyze long-term streamflow in the CRB. Key parameters describing long-term hydroclimatic changes are integrated into a state-space model (SSM).

Sensitivity of Large‐Scale Hydrological Predictions to Precipitation Phase Partitioning Methods Under a Changing Climate

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 7, July 2026.
Future warming shifts precipitation from snow to rain across the Saskatchewan River Basin, reducing snow water equivalent and advancing snowmelt timing. Differences among precipitation phase‐partitioning methods propagate from snowpack accumulation to runoff magnitude and timing, producing earlier spring flows and higher peak discharge.

Rain‐on‐Snow Events Frequently Drive Peak Streamflow Across the Contiguous United States

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Rain‐on‐snow events occur when rain falls on a ripe snowpack, initiating rapid snowmelt that can produce extreme flooding in watersheds throughout the world. Rapid snowmelt during rain‐on‐snow flooding is primarily caused by the increase of net radiation (longwave) and turbulent fluxes during the event.

Combined impacts of current and future dust deposition and regional warming on Colorado River Basin snow dynamics and hydrology [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2013
The Colorado River provides water to 40 million people in seven western states and two countries and to 5.5 million irrigated acres. The river has long been overallocated.

Streamflow Spatial Correlation Length Increases During Storms and Its Application in Data Assimilation Improves Streamflow Predictions

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The spatial correlation of streamflow in a river network captures how flows at different locations relate to one another and influence the downstream response. In this study, we analyze the spatial correlation of streamflow and rainfall during storm events in three Texas watersheds: San Antonio (2015 and 2016 storms), Guadalupe (2018 storm ...

Atmospheric water balance of the Upper Colorado River Basin

, 1968
The atmospheric branch of the hydrologic cycle is investigated to determine the wintertime accumulation of water over the Upper Colorado River Basin. The parameter precipitation minus evaporation is computed as a residual from the atmospheric water balance equation. The study covers the seven winter seasons 1957 through 1963.

High-resolution models better simulate historical snowpack declines in the Upper Colorado River Basin

Environmental Research Letters
The Colorado River supplies water to 40 million people, 4.5 million acres of irrigated land, seven US states, over two dozen federally recognized and sovereign tribes and Mexico. River discharge is strongly controlled by snowpack accumulation and melt in

Growth of a Threatened Desert Fish Becomes Resource Dependent When Released From Temperature Limitation in a Regulated River

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Growth of ectotherms typically positively correlates with increasing temperature towards an optimal temperature range, followed by a decline in growth when temperatures exceed the optimal temperature range for that organism. When temperature is within or close to the optimal range, food availability and other environmental factors can play ...

Understanding Drought‐Induced Soil Moisture Feedback on Atmospheric Circulation: Observations and Simulation Experiments of the 2020 Western U.S. Drought

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract This study examines the large‐scale atmospheric response to reduced evapotranspiration during droughts in the Western U.S., using an observation‐based regression method and numerical experiments with a global climate model. We found that Western U.S.
