Abstract

Using a recent inventory of thousands of storage reservoirs across the United States, we explore the behavior of surface water supply systems by region. Using recent advances in our understanding of the behavior of storage reservoirs along with regional hydroclimatologic relationships of streamflow and the reservoir inventory, we are able to summarize the behavior of individual surface water supply systems in terms of their reliability, resilience and vulnerability, by region, under existing and future climate conditions. We also document the hydrologic and water demand conditions that lead to carryover storage requirements.
