Description: U.S. Geological Survey&#191;s (USGS) Powell Center is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU Partner for research on &#191;Causes, Consequences, Changes, and Management of Streamflow Depletion Across the U.S.&#191; The project will synthesize existing data from USGS and other sources, and use these data to quantify, attribute, and visualize streamflow depletion potential across the continental United States. Tasks include (1) quantify changes in streamflow and baseflow through trend analysis of available data; (2) attribute changes in streamflow and baseflow to climate change and land use change; (3) evaluate simple hydrologic metrics for appropriateness, robustness, and ability to capture human impacts on the stream environment; and (4) create a streamflow depletion visualization tool to facilitate education and information transfer.
