The word "streamflow" in example sentences

The term streamflow describes the process of water flowing in the organized channels of a stream or river. ❋ Unknown (2006)

The United States Geological Survey river gage at Fargo — which has continuous flow data since 1902 — recorded new records in both streamflow (28,900 cubic feet per second) and height (40 3/4 feet) at 4: 15 PM EST. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The Colorado River basin still faces a seriously difficult future as long as population continues to grow, and as climatic changes become more evident, altering streamflow volumes, timing, and quality. ❋ Peter H. Gleick (2011)

Fronds of vegetation protrude into the waterway, and small vortices spin off their tips, passing a short distance diagonally down the streamflow. ❋ Gordon McCabe (2009)

This is the eighth “ten-year flood” of Fargo since 1989, with streamflow greater than 10,300 cfs. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Research on the effects of climate change on the watershed pointed to “reductions in snowpack, an earlier peak in spring snowmelt, higher rates of evapotranspiration, reduced late spring and summer flows, and reductions in annual runoff and streamflow,” the National Research Council reported in 2007. ❋ Michael Hiltzik (2010)

Powell must have known, or at least strongly suspected, that the streamflow estimates he placed before the compact delegates were vastly overstated. ❋ Michael Hiltzik (2010)

Her dissertation research, with funding support from NASA, NSF and Phi Beta Kappa, examined the impacts of fire and vegetation recovery on streamflow dynamics in California shrublands using a combination of remote sensing and distributed hydrological modeling. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Height of the Caddo River during the flash flood event on June 11, as shown on a USGS streamflow gauge. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Part of the problem is that individual N and P inputs and outputs in arctic ecosystems, such as N fixation, N deposition, denitrification, rock weathering, or losses in streamflow (see next subsection), are even smaller than the amounts annually recycled by mineralization of organic matter [39] (Fig. 7.27), except perhaps in the high Arctic [40]. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The environmental significance of ice to cold-regions streamflow. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Permafrost slopes and organic horizons are the principal controls on streamflow generation in subarctic catchments. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Thawing of permafrost, which could increase the subsurface contribution to streamflow and possibly mitigate the effect of increased E during summer, is another complicating factor. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Low rainfall and small streamflow result in water scarcity in many areas. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Streamflow in these regions is subject to strong seasonal fluctuations, in striking contrast to the constant streamflow typical of rainforest climates. ❋ Unknown (2009)

In the rainy season, extensive low-lying areas are submerged; in the dry season, streamflow dissipates, exposing channel bottoms of sand and gravel as mud flats dry out. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Under A1fi, heatwaves in Los Angeles are six to eight times more frequent, with heat-related excess mortality increasing five to seven times; alpine/subalpine forests are reduced by 75-90%; and snowpack declines 73-90%, with cascading impacts on runoff and streamflow that, combined with projected modest declines in winter precipitation, could fundamentally disrupt California's water rights system. ❋ Unknown (2009)
