Will we need to change the rules : assessing the implications of climate change for dam operations in Oregon's McKenzie River Basin

Dams and reservoirs are important components of water resource management systems, but their operational sensitivity to streamflow variability may make them vulnerable to climate change. Climate change is likely to affect the magnitude and timing of streamflow, motivating the assessment of potential...
