12 wrz 2023 · In this Review, we explore the potential impacts of both hydroclimatic extremes (drought, heatwave, rainstorm and flood events) and longer-term (historic and future) climate change on river...
31 maj 2024 · With the impacts of a changing climate threatening river water supplies, it is important to ensure that rivers and wetland areas are healthy enough to trap floodwaters, retain moisture during droughts, recharge groundwater supplies, filter pollution, and provide habitat for fish and wildlife.
A new, interactive mapping tool, developed by the USGS National Water-Quality Assessment Project, allows users to do just that—visualize long-term changes in water quality and in health of aquatic life at hundreds of sites on streams and rivers across the United States.
1 sty 2023 · Forecasting the effects of climate change, especially the long-term impacts on water resources using integrated hydrological and climate models remains a daunting task. To overcome this challenge, modeling techniques are applied to conceptualize the interactions between climate and water resources.
22 cze 2021 · The USGS National Climate Change Viewer (NCCV) is a web application for visualizing climate change projections across the conterminous United States. Users can visualize projected changes in climate and water balance by state, county or USGS Hydrologic Units.
7 mar 2024 · Here we review how climate change influences river water quality via persistent, gradual shifts and episodic, intense extreme events.
A new USGS interactive map provides a long-term look at changes in the quality of our nation’s rivers and streams, using data from over 70 organizations. Go online and see how 51 water-quality metrics and 38 aquatic-life metrics at nearly 1,400 sites have changed over the last 40 years.(Public domain.)
