Climate Change and Water Resources
Climate Change and Water Resources
Consideration of potential climate change effects on water resources is regularly integrated into many of our investigations, particularly those focused on water availability and use and hydrologic hazards. We often use our hydrology computer models to simulate the potential effects of climate change, and integrate those effects with those from other stressors such as land-use change or population growth to help our partners plan resilient water supply and hazard reduction strategies.

Yakima Watershed and River Systems Management Program
Competition among water-resource users in many basins in the western United States has resulted in a need for near-real-time assessments of water availability and use. The Watershed and River System Management Program (WARSMP) is a collaborative program between the USGS and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) to couple watershed and river-reach models that simulate the physical hydrologic...
