Evaluating Enhanced Reservoir Evaporation Losses From CMIP6‐Based Future Projections in the Contiguous United States by Bingjie Zhao, Shih‐Chieh Kao, Gang Zhao, Sudershan Gangrade, Deeksha Rastogi, Moetasim Ashfaq, Huilin Gao

“…In this study, we evaluated the evaporation rates and losses for 678 major reservoirs (representing nearly 90% of total storage capacity) in the Contiguous United States over historical baseline (1980–2019), near‐term (2020–2039), and mid‐term (2040–2059) future periods. …”

The implications of future climate change on the blue water footprint of hydropower in the contiguous US by Gang Zhao, Huilin Gao, Shih-Chieh Kao

“…To facilitate the sustainable management of both water and energy resources under the impact of climate change in the contiguous United States (CONUS), the BWF values of 143 major multipurpose reservoirs were evaluated during the historical period (1985–2014) and two future periods (2020–2049 and 2070–2099). …”
