Longer, drier summers projected for arid and semi-arid regions of western North America under climate change are likely to have enormous consequences for water resources and river-dependent ecosystems. Many climate change scenarios for this region involve decreases in mean annual streamflow, latesummer precipitation and late-summer streamflow in the coming decades. Intermittent streams are already common in this region, and it is likely that minimum flows will decrease and some perennial streams will shift to intermittent flow under climate-driven changes in timing and magnitude of precipitation and runoff, combined with increases in temperature. To understand current intermittency among streams and analyze the...

This data release contains input and output data from hydrologic simulations of streamflow conditions in the Red River Basin (RRB) using the Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (PRMS). The RRB PRMS model predicts components of the water balance at 3065 hydrologic response units (HRU) and streamflow for 1614 stream segments within the model domain for the simulation period 1981 to 2016. The data release contains two shapefiles: (1) a map of HRUs in the model domain and (2) a map of stream segments in the model domain. In addition to the shapefiles, the data release includes files containing the calibrated parameters of the RRB PRMS model as well as model inputs and outputs. The model inputs are (1) climate data,...

Modeling streamflow is an important approach for understanding landscape-scale drivers of flow and estimating flows where there are no streamgage records. In this study conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with Colorado State University, the objectives were to model streamflow metrics on small, ungaged streams in the Upper Colorado River Basin and identify streams that are potentially threatened with becoming intermittent under drier climate conditions. The Upper Colorado River Basin is a region that is critical for water resources and also projected to experience large future climate shifts toward a drying climate. A random forest modeling approach was used to model the relationship between streamflow...
