Abstract
View details
In the semi-arid environment of the Blue Mountains, Oregon
(USA), water is a critical resource for both ecosystems and
human uses and will be affected by climate change in both the
near- and long-term. Warmer temperatures will reduce snowpack
and snow-dominated watersheds will transition to mixed rain and
snow, while mixed rain and snow dominated watersheds will shift
towards rain dominated. This will result in high flows occurring
more commonly in late autumn and winter rather than spring,
and lower low flows in summer, phenomena that may already be
occurring in the Pacific Northwest. Higher peak flows are
expected to increase the frequency and magnitude of flooding,
which may increase erosion and scouring of the streambed and
concurrent risks to roads, culverts, and bridges. Mapping of
projected peak flow changes near roads gives an opportunity to
mitigate these potential risks. Diminished snowpack and low
summer flows are expected to cause a reduction in water supply
for aquatic ecosystems, agriculture, municipal consumption, and
livestock grazing, although this effect will not be as prominent in
areas with substantial amounts of groundwater. Advanced
planning could help reduce conflict among water users.
Responding pro-actively to climate risks by improving current
management practices, like road design and water management
as highlighted here, may be among the most efficient and
effective methods for adaptation.

1. Introduction
Water is a critical resource in arid and semi-arid forest and
rangeland environments of western North America, typically
limiting the distribution of plant and animal species. Water is also
a critical element for human activities, affecting where and how
human communities and local economies persist across the
landscape (Hartter et al., 2018). The Blue Mountains of northeast
Oregon and southeast Washington, most of which are located
within federal land, are the primary water source for human uses,
which include agriculture, drinking water, industrial uses,
livestock grazing, and recreation.

hydrology.
2.1. Methods
Hydrologic simulations of streamflow were prepared using the
Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) model (Liang et al., 1994) to
simulate streamflow driven by downscaled forcing data from
global circulation models (GCMs) that have contributed to the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change AR4 (CMIP3)
assessment (Elsner et al., 2010, IPCC, 2013). VIC projections
were prepared from an ensemble of 10 GCM models using A1B
emission scenarios and having the best match with observations
in the historical period (Littell et al., 2011). Projections for the
“2040s” cover an average from 2030 to 2059, and the “2080s”
cover 2070 to 2099. Historical metrics were based on the period
1977 through 1997 (Wenger et al., 2010). VIC data were
computed on a 1/16th-degree (∼6 km) grid to produce daily flow
data that were further routed downstream and analyzed for
metrics important to aquatic ecology (Wenger et al., 2010,
Wenger et al., 2011a, Wenger et al., 2011b). VIC outputs were
further processed with a linear groundwater reservoir routing
algorithm using the calibrated recession coefficient values of
Safeeq et al. (2014) to estimate impacts to low flows, which are
sensitive to groundwater dynamics.

Although the need for roads for timber harvest has decreased
greatly in the past 20 years, demand for roads for recreational
activities has increased. Hiking and camping are the most

national forests lasting 6 h or less (USFS, 2010), thus

In the long term, higher winter soil moisture may increase the risk
of landslides in autumn and winter, especially in areas that have
experienced high-severity wildfire and insect outbreaks
(Montgomery et al., 2000, Schmidt et al., 2001, Istanbulluoglu et
al., 2004). Although floods and landslides will continue to be
more common in areas with known susceptibility (e.g., high
density roads, steep slopes), they may also occur in higher
elevation locations currently covered by snowpack for much of
the year (MacArthur et al., 2012).
