Uncertainty Analysis of California Streamflow Using Multiple Climate Change Scenarios

Norman L. Miller , Kathy E. Bashford, and Eric Strem

Research Objectives

The objectives of this study are to determine the potential upper and lower bounds of future streamflow response in California, based on a range of climate projections.
