Results 405 - 410 of 410 listed by similarity [list alphabetically]

Watershed scale response to climate change--Yampa River Basin, Colorado [More info]: Mathematical models predict overall streamflow, runoff, subsurface flow, groundwater flow, and soil moisture in this area in response to four different greenhouse gas emission scenarios.
WaterSMART-The Colorado River Basin focus-area study [More info]: Explains the strategy that USGS will use to estimate the distribution and abundance of freshwater resources, evaluate factors affecting availability, estimate undeveloped potential resources, and forecasting likely changes due to other factors.
Wildfire effects on source-water quality--Lessons from Fourmile Canyon fire, Colorado, and implications for drinking-water treatment [More info]: Stream discharge and nitrate concentration increased downstream of the burned area during snowmelt, but these were probably within the treatment capacity of most drinking-water plants, and limited changes were observed in downstream ecosystems.
Wyoming drought watch [More info]: Gives map of streamflow conditions in Wyoming with access to streamflow data, real-time, daily and historic, plus information on drought analysis and management.
Wyoming groundwater-quality monitoring network [More info]: Shows high-priority areas where groundwater will be monitored, outlines the methods of collection and analysis that will be used.
Yakima River Basin [More info]: Description of the studies of the ground water system in the Yakima River Basin and how it interacts with rivers and streams in the basin. Includes links to project status, datasets, maps, project summaries, news releases and bibliographies.
