This massive undertaking will help scientists better understand how much liquid
water is contained within
snow and how viable
snow is as a
resource of liquid
water on our planet for drinking, agriculture, and hydropower.
This drop is of concern because
snow cover is important to soil moisture and
water resources in many regions.
The rapid expansion of the North Slope's

water resources, wildlife behavior, the plant growing season and more, the research team reported in the new paper.
Despite a near - average winter precipitation total for California, Oregon, and Washington, the record warmth caused most of the precipitation to fall as rain and not

Snow Supervisor with the Natural
Resources Conservation Service In Salt Lake, Randy Julander discusses the most recent Climate and
Water Report.
IPCC AR4 WG1 SPM says (under «Fresh
water resources and their management» of «C. Current knowledge about future impacts») In the course of the century,
water suppries stored in glaciers and
snow cover are projected to decline, reducing
water availability in regions supplied by meltwater from major mountain ranges, where more than one - sixth of the world population currently lives.
In many regions, changing precipitation or melting
snow and ice are altering hydrological systems, affecting
water resources in terms of quantity and quality (medium confidence).
The other concern is the upper Indus, where the
snow and glacial melt is really critical in
water resource management and flood control in Pakistan,» explained Koike, director, International Centre for Water Hazard and Risk Management (ICH

Water Hazard and Risk Management (ICH

Better
resource availability for infrastructure repair required due to extreme weather (e.g., human and physical
resources for
water main breaks and road repair due to extended freezes, and better stockpiled availability of salt and de-icing chemicals for previously unpredictable extended
snow and ice events).
While rain and
snow would still help replenish Asian rivers in the absence of glaciers, the change could hamper efforts to manage seasonal
water resources by altering when fresh
water supplies are available in areas already prone to
water shortages.
[5] The SWE / P ratio shows what fraction of current
water year precipitation remains in the
snow pack for any given day of the
water year: the closer SWE (
snow water equivalent) is to P (overall precipitation), the more
water resources remain.
The NSIDC DAAC provides data and information on
snow, sea ice, glaciers, ice sheets, ice shelves, frozen ground, soil moisture, cryosphere, and climate interactions, in support of research in global change detection, model validation, and
water resource management.

While currently impacting ski resorts across the region, the lack of
snow could bring even greater problems to
water resources later this year.

The systems and sectors are some ecosystems (tundra, boreal forest, mountain, mediterranean - type, mangroves, salt marshes, coral reefs and the sea - ice biome), low - lying coasts,
water resources in some dry regions at mid-latitudes and in the dry topics and in areas dependent on
snow and ice melt, agriculture in low - latitude regions, and human health in areas with low adaptive capacity.
