Description:

Snow water is key to water supply in cold regions and beyond. Here we introduce Snow Water Availability that quantifies water stored in the snow-covered portion of an area. By integrating a plausible set of available gridded datasets for snow depth, density, and cover fraction, we form four estimates of Snow Water Availability at the 25 × 25 km2 across Canada and Alaska. We show that annual long-term mean of Snow Water Availability over the domain was 996 ± 170 km³ during 2000-2019. While annual Snow Water Availability increased from 799 ± 121 km³ in 2000-2009 to 1208 ± 231 km³ in 2010-2019, significant losses (p-value = 0.05) were observed in ~3% of the domain, mainly in North American Cordillera, headwaters to major rivers in western Canada. These losses alongside insignificant decreases across southern Canada can threaten water supply in a quarter of the country, where ~86% of its population reside.
