Webb , Ryan 1 1 Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research, University of Colorado Snow is an important environmental variable in headwater systems that controls hydrological processes such as streamflow, groundwater recharge, and evapotranspiration. These processes will be affected by both the amount of snow available for melt and the...
Udall , Brad 1 1 Colorado Water Institute – Colorado State University Water in the Western US is governed by water law derived from the early gold miners in the mid 19th century and is controlled by massive infrastructure built in the 20th century. Population growth and a vastly different...
Strack , Otto D.L. 1 1 Department of Civil, Environmental, and Geo- Engi- neering, College of Science and Technology, University of Minnesota Groundwater flow modeling has become increasingly sophisticated as modeling tools have evolved from early computer programs that required elaborate input and produced output in terms of sheets full...
Smith , Rebecca 1 ; Kasprzyk , Joseph 2 1 University of Colorado at Â鶹ӰԺ 2 University of Colorado at Â鶹ӰԺ In light of the unpredictable effects of climate change and population shifts, responsible resource management will require new types of information and strategies going forward. For water utilities, this...

Raleigh , Mark 1 ; Small , Eric 2 1 University of Colorado 2 University of Colorado Lidar-measured snow depth and model-estimated snow density can be combined to map snow water equivalent (SWE) across basins. This approach has the potential to transform watershed research and operations in snow dominated regions,...
Larsen , Laurel 1 1 Department of Physical Geography – University of California at Berkeley One consequence of earth systems moving out of a regime of stationarity is that statistical models based on past behavior may no longer be useful for predicting the future. Rather, an understanding of the mechanisms...
