<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Water Project Construction Program - Project Data <br />Non-Reimbursable Investment <br /> <br />Applicant: <br /> <br />David Clow, USGS <br /> <br />Project Name: <br /> <br />Changes in the timing of snowmelt onset in the Colorado Rocky Mountains <br /> <br />Project Type: <br /> <br />Research <br /> <br />-- <br />County: <br /> <br />Multiple <br /> <br />Drainage Basin: Headwaters of all major river basins <br /> <br />Water Source: N/A <br /> <br />Total Study Cost: <br /> <br />$ 114,000 <br /> <br />Funding Sources: Construction Fund, USGS Matching Funds, Denver Water, Southeastem <br />Colorado Water Conservancy District, Colorado Springs Utilities, and the Colorado River <br />Water Conservation District <br /> <br />Type of Applicant: Govemment <br /> <br />Median Household Income: N/ A <br /> <br />CWCB Investment: $ 40,000 <br /> <br />Background: <br />The USGS, Colorado Water Science Center would like to conduct and publish a detailed <br />analysis of snowpack melt timing, streamflow runoff timing, and trends in monthly air <br />temperature and precipitation in high-elevation areas in Colorado. The objective is to <br />document recent trends in snowmelt and runoff timing, and to quantify how those parameters <br />are affected by changing climate. Results will be used to estimate potential changes in runoff <br />amount and timing under a variety of climate change scenarios to understand possible <br />implications to water resources in Colorado including changes in water use, reservoir <br />operations, timing and magnitude of snowmelt flooding, drought response, and availability of <br />flow at certain times to meet instream flow rights. <br />
