Groundwater provides drinking water for millions of Americans and is the primary source of water to irrigate cropland in many of the nations most productive agricultural settings. Although the ...

Forest hydrology, the study of how water flows through forests, can help illuminate the connections between forests and water, but it must advance if it is to deal with today's complexities, including ...

Catchment hydrology, as a discipline, examines the complex movement, storage and distribution of water within a defined drainage basin. A key aspect of this field is the study of baseflow ...

The study of baseflow separation and streamflow analysis is fundamental to understanding the dynamics of river systems. Baseflow, predominantly composed of groundwater contributions, sustains river ...

The Colorado River makes life possible in many Western cities and supports agriculture that sustains people throughout the country. Most of the river's water begins as snowmelt from the mountainous ...

Every spring, high-country streams and rivers in the American West begin to swell with water as the region’s snowpack starts to dissipate. It’s easy to assume that the liquid flowing in these water ...

ABSTRACT Classification of streamflow hydrographs plays an important role in a large number of hydrological and hydraulic studies. For instance, it allows decisions to be made regarding the ...

Climate change is resulting in shifts in hydrologic regimes that are increasingly accompanied by intensified extremes, including heavy rain events and prolonged drought periods. Watersheds in ...

Urbanization includes wastewater collection and conveyance infrastructure, which alters water budgets and streamflow hydrographs. One unique component of the urban water cycle is inflow and ...

The UC Davis management tool is hoped to offer benefits for habitat for fish like the coho salmon and farmers and ranchers. A team of University of California, Davis, scientists is developing a ...
