Stream water sourcing from high-elevation snowpack inferred from stable isotopes of water: a novel application of d-excess values
About 80% of the precipitation at the Colorado River's headwaters is snow, and the resulting
snowmelt-driven hydrograph is a crucial water source for about 40 million people. Snowmelt …
