US Watersheds: Underlying Geodynamic Processes And Human Impacts Consi
Two papers in the August-September issue of Geosphere consider watersheds in the US. The Yellowstone watershed is unique because of its changing discharge values over the twentieth century, as well as its overall lower scaled discharges with drainage areas. Climatic trends that control the timing of winter snowpack melting, increased frequency and intensity of forest fires, and increased human consumptive water use in downstream areas may all contribute to the observed behavior in discharges for the Yellowstone watershed.

The study covers waterways from the states of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. Goofy Gear for Wii Sports
