| dc.subject | A recent megadrought in the American Southwest has exacerbated the imbalance between water supply and demand. Runoff from the Colorado River's headwaters is impacted by climate change, although the specific factors driving shortages are unclear. Using the StateMod water accounting model, we analyze shortages in the Gunnison Basin with historical streamflow data and two synthetic ensembles. Our findings show that water rights influence shortage vulnerability, which increases with climate-change. | |
