Tracking the Impact of Climate Change on Central and Northern California's Spring Snowmelt Subbasin Runoff

Title
Tracking the Impact of Climate Change on Central and Northern California's Spring Snowmelt Subbasin Runoff
Abstract
This study found that orographically influenced subbasins were least impacted by the effects of climate change, while those areas that were either in rain shadow or were behind topographic barriers revealed larger climate change impact in the form of reduced snowpack, spring runoff, and sometimes runoff for the water year.
Purpose
To classify subbasins in terms of runoff impact from climate change in order to determine effects on water availability and potential associated business risks to PG&E.
