  • Climate Change Impacts on Water Management in the Puget Sound Region, Washington, USA Julie A
    Climate Change Impacts on Water Management in the Puget Sound Region, Washington, USA Julie A. Vano1, Nathalie Voisin1, Lan Cuo1,2, Alan F. Hamlet1,2, Marketa McGuire Elsner2, Richard N. Palmer3, Austin Polebitski1, and Dennis P. Lettenmaier1,2 Abstract limate change is projected to result, on average, in earlier snowmelt and reduced summer flows, patterns that are not well represented in the historical observations used for planning and reliability analyses by water utilities. CWe extend ongoing efforts in the Puget Sound basin cities of Everett, Seattle, and Tacoma to characterize differences between historic and future streamflow and the ability of the region’s water supply systems to meet future demands. We use future streamflow simulations for the 2020s, 2040s, and 2080s from the Distributed Hydrology-Soil- Vegetation Model (DHSVM), driven by climate simulations archived by the 2007 Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). We use ensembles of streamflow predictions produced by DHSVM forced with multiple downscaled ensembles from the IPCC climate models as inputs to reservoir system models for the Everett, Seattle, and Tacoma water supply systems. Over the next century, under average conditions all three systems are projected to experience a decline and eventual disappearance of the springtime snowmelt peak in their inflows. How these shifts impact water management depends on the specifics of the reservoir system and their operating objectives, site-specific variations in the influence that reductions in snowmelt have on reservoir inflows, and the adaptive capacity of each system. Without adaptations, average seasonal drawdown of reservoir storage is projected to increase in all of the systems throughout the 21st century.

  • University of Washington the Cedar River Watershed Is One of Two
    INTERNAL REPORT 102 FOREST PLANTCOMMUNITIESOF THELOWER CEDARRIVER WATERSHED D.R. M. Scott and J. Long University of Washington INTRODUCTION The Cedar River Watershed is one of two principal sites for the Western Coniferous Biome of the International Biological Program (IBP). Various physical add biological components of the watershed are being intensively studied as part of the Analysis of Ecosystems objectives of IBP. The purpose of this report is to present the results of an initial recon- naissance-level study of the forest vegetation of the watershed. The . tentative delineations and descriptions of this vegetation may be useful in the stratification of the watershed for intensive ecological research. A proposal for an inventory of terrestrial ecosystems of the Cedar River drainage by Scott and Del Moral (1971) was not funded for 1972. However, a half-time graduate student salary for six months and some transporta- tion were made available. This limited funding made possible the initiation of a survey of the forest communities of the watershed. The emphasis during this first field season was placed on the vegetation of the lower watershed. This decision was based on several factors, including the uncertainty of, transportation to the upper watershed and the fact that some study of the upper watershed, specifically the Findley Lake Basin, had already been completed (Del Moral, unpublished). DESCRIPTION OF THE LOWER WATERSHED The lower watershed can be defined, for the purposes of this report, as that part of the Cedar River Watershed below 600 m in elevation. On this basis it represents approximately 14,000 ha or 40% of the total watershed.
