"Irrigation begins to significantly reduce 
temperatures and temperature trends during boreal 
summer over the Northern Hemisphere mid-latitudes 
and tropics beginning around 1950; significant 
increases in precipitation occur in these same 
latitude bands. These trends reveal the varying 
importance of irrigation_climate interactions and 
suggest that future climate studies should 
account for irrigation, especially in regions 
with unsustainable irrigation resources."

irrigation on global climate during the 20th 
century, J. Geophys. Res., 115, D16120,

"New assessments of decades' worth of snowpack 
measurements show that snowpack levels have 
dropped considerably throughout the American West 
in response to a 0.8°C warming since the 1950s."

"'Snow is our water storage in the West,' says 
Philip Mote, a climatologist at the University of 
Washington (UW), Seattle, who leads a team that 
has produced much of the new work. 'When you 
remove that much storage, there is simply no way 
to make up for it.'

"The impacts could be profound."
