Groundwater dominates snowmelt runoff and controls streamflow efficiency in the western United States
Abstract Climate change in seasonally snow-covered mountain catchments is reducing water supply and decreasing streamflow predictability. Here, we use tritium age dating to show that contrary to the common assumption that snowmelt quickly contributes to runoff, streamflow during snowmelt in western...
