Modelling Impacts of Climate Change on Snow Drought, Groundwater Drought, and their Feedback Mechanism in a Snow Dominated Watershed in Western Canada
DownloadFall 2023
In snow-dominated regions, snow storage is a primary water resource contributing to surface water (SW) and groundwater (GW) supplies. Snow drought is defined as either lack of snow storage or high-temperature-induced early snowmelt, leading to a loss of snow water resources. GW drought refers to...
