英文摘要 | Reductions in winter snowpack over the last few decades have affected water resource availability in the western United States. In regions where glaciers exist, local communities have an advantage over nonglaciated regions as water continues to flow once the snowpack has melted. Despite this advantage, relatively little is understood about the contributions of glacial meltwater quantity and quality to streamflow. Torrey Creek watershed in the Wind River Range, Wyoming, contains several glaciers that provide meltwater to supplement late summer streamflow to the Wind River. Despite its importance as a contributor to water resources in the region, Torrey Creek discharge is not regularly monitored. Field research conducted in August 2019 for this study, along with previous field work completed in August 2012 and 2014, provides some understanding of late summer meltwater quantity and quality within the Torrey Creek watershed. Measured Torrey Creek discharge during mid-August 2019 averaged 3.80 m(3) s(-1) with 37 percent of the discharge attributed to glacial ice melt from stable isotope analysis. Nutrient loading to Torrey Creek from glacial meltwater was dominated by NO2-NO3 at 179.99 kg per month followed by 21.86 kg of total P for August 2019. |
