Description

Seasonal mountain snow, which accumulates and melts throughout the year, fundamentally shapes the hydrology, climate, and ecosystems of both mountain watersheds and the regions downstream. In mountainous areas, spring snowmelt drives streamflow and groundwater recharge, making it a critical temporary water resource whose availability is largely determined by seasonal climate patterns.
