The study looked at how climate change could affect streamflow in the Colorado River Basin. Researchers used climate projections to predict future streamflow in the Green, Gunnison, and San Juan River basins. They found that higher temperatures could lead to less water flowing in the Gunnison and San Juan Rivers, but more water in the Green River. This means that some areas may have less water available in the future due to changing climate conditions.
