Streamflow in the upper Colorado River in the western USA is always snowmelt dominated, whereas the lower river's perennial streamflows are snowmelt dominated only 50% of the time. The magnitude and timing of peak flows is important for water resources management. In the upper basin the annual maximum daily discharge usually occurs in May or June, and in the lower basin this peak is observed to occur in any month except May or June. The timing of one-half of the specific runoff is used as a second measure of the variability in timing and magnitude of streamflows. For the upper basin, nine watersheds are used to illustrate streamflow trends, with the Yampa River used as a sample sub-basin. For the lower basin, five...
