Human-Induced Changes in the Hydrology of the Western United States
This paper presents a regional climate change detection and attribution study, using a high-resolution hydrologic model forced by global climate models. Their results show that up to 60% of the climate-related trends of river flow, winter air temperature, and snow pack between 1950 and 1999 are human-induced. They predict, in conjunction with previous research, an upcoming crisis of water supply in the Western U.S.
