| Notes | Climate change is already affecting the timing and amount of streamflow around the world. In this study, the authors used General Circulation Models (GCMs) coupled with the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) to examine the futures of five West Coast watersheds. The Siletz River Basin was the watershed selected for Oregon. Water temperatures were projected to rise for all basins. The Siletz was projected to have heavier winter streamflow, increasing the potential risk of flooding and more sedimentation. |
