Ecologists seek to turn tide on Colorado River

Selenium impacts on razorback sucker, Colorado: Colorado River III. Larvae.

Razorback sucker (Xyrauchen texanus) larvae from adults exposed to selenium at three sites near Grand Junction, Colorado, for 9 months were used in a 30-day waterborne and dietary selenium study. Selenium concentrations in water averaged <1.6 microg/L from 24-Road, 0.9 microg/L from Horsethief, 5.5 microg/L from Adobe Creek, and 10.7 microg/L from the North Pond. Selenium in dietary items avera...

The Lower Colorado River : A Western System

--A historic look at the Colorado River will illustrate the dras­ tic effects of human activity on most Western rivers. Engineering features for the management of water and electric power have resulted in increased evapora­ tion, associated salinity, and other physicochemical changes; drastic reduction in many native plant and animal populations; increasing populations of intro­ duced species; ...

On the contribution of groundwater storage to interannual streamflow anomalies in the Colorado River basin

We assess the significance of groundwater storage for seasonal streamflow forecasts by evaluating its contribution to interannual streamflow anomalies in the 29 tributary sub-basins of the Colorado River. Monthly and annual changes in total basin storage are simulated by two implementations of the Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) macroscale hydrology model – the standard release of the mode...
