Questions

• Where are streams perennial, and where are they intermittent?

• Why: What causes streams to be intermittent?• How has streamflow intermittence changed over time?

• Implications: Can improved understanding of streamflow intermittence contribute to watershed management?

Intermittent streams

• 50‐70% of streams globally• 85% of streams in Cache la Poudre drainage
