New research suggests that streamflow arising from snow-capped mountains is complicated. Researchers found that most mountain snowfall has a years-long invisible journey as groundwater before it leaves the mountains in streams. Determining the age of mountain streamflow is a prerequisite for predicting how mountain hydrology will respond to changes in climate and land use, the researchers said.
