As mountain snow fails and glaciers melt, Pakistan faces water threats
2014-05-24 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Farmers in the valleys of northern Pakistan fear for the survival of their summer crops after a short winter of low snowfall altered the flow patterns of mountain streams, potentially robbing the farmers of water they rely on to irrigate their fields. Experts at the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) and senior weather observers posted at stations in Pakistan's Upper Indus Basin (UIB) say last winter's snowfall in most of the valleys of the Gilgit-Balistan province was as much as 70 percent...

Water Goes 'Missing' as More Rain, Less Snow Falls
2014-05-21 22:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: A new study finds that as temperatures rise, it will rain more and snow less, causing the total amount of water in rivers to decline. Researchers compare in the journal Nature Climate Change areas of similar climate and precipitation, but with differing fractions of that precipitation falling as snow and as rain. After examining the histories of 420 catchment basins in the US spanning the period 1948-2001, scientists discovered there is a significant difference in total streamflow if the fraction...

Water goes 'missing' with snow loss
2014-05-21 04:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: A new study finds that if temperatures rise and more precipitation falls as rain rather than snow, it will reduce the total amount of water in rivers. It is a surprising observation. One might expect the timing of water flow to change but not the overall volume. But this is precisely what scientists discovered when they examined the histories of 420 catchment basins in the US spanning the period 1948-2001. The researchers report their work in the journal Nature Climate Change. The study...
Less Snow and More Rain Means We're All Dried Up

Motherboard: Right about now is the most magical time of year in the mountains. Not just for the usual spring reasons of getting to play outside and saying farewell to lingering seasonal affective disorder, but because of water. This is when it all happens: the big melt. Mud season. The amount of water shed from high-country snowpack in the springtime will impact the whole rest of the year. The true amount of that water now choking valley rivers will determine which farmers actually get to farm this year, how...
