Distinguishing human and climate influences on the Columbia River: Changes in mean flow and sediment transport

► Human and climate influences on the Columbia River hydrologic cycle and sediment discharge have been separated since 1858. ► The mean virgin flow at The Dalles has decreased ∼16.5%, 8-9% due to climate change and 7-8% due to water withdrawal. ► Climate impacts on the sediment discharge are larger...
