Here, we modified the Water Supply Stress Index (WaSSI) model to provide estimates of mean water yield and the proportion of mean flow originating on forested lands at the 12‐Digit Hydrologic Unit Code scale across the conterminous United States (CONUS). We accounted for the benefits of forests for drinking water supply and receiving populations through IBTs by incorporating a new IBT database, surface intake location information for public drinking water systems, and modeled water yield from forests. We compiled the new database of 594 IBTs ranging from 0.01 million m3 yr−1 to 8,900 million m3 yr−1, for a total transferred volume of 116,894 million m3 yr−1. According to our results, forested lands comprised 28.7% of the total land area across CONUS, but contributed 46% of the total surface water yield. Approximately 125.5 million people derived more than 10% of their surface drinking water supply from forested lands, and 83.1 million people received more than 50% of their surface drinking water supply from forested lands. Of those 83.1 million people receiving more than 50% of their surface drinking water supply from forested lands, 19.4 million people obtained some (≥0.01%) of that water through IBTs. We conclude that accounting for IBTs is critical to accurately assess the contribution of forested watersheds for surface drinking water supply. Hydrologic models for assessment and decision making must include IBTs to fully account for the effects of climate change and human population dynamics on water resource availability at watershed to regional scales. Results from this study can aid water resource and forest managers in developing integrated watershed management plans at a time when climate change, population growth, and land use change threaten water supplies.}, number={5}, journal={Water Resources Research}, publisher={American Geophysical Union (AGU)}, author={Liu, Ning and Dobbs, G.

This study investigates the potential impacts of climate change on two key ecosystem functions (i.e., water yield and ecosystem productivity) using the most recent climate projections derived from 20 Global Climate Models (GCMs) of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 (CMIP5). We find that future climate change may result in a significant reduction in water yield but an increase in ecosystem productivity in NFs. On average, gross ecosystem productivity is projected to increase by 76 ~ 229 g C m−2 yr−1 (8% ~ 24%) while water yield is projected to decrease by 18 ~ 31 mm yr−1 (4% ~ 7%) by 2100 as a result of the combination of increased air temperature (+1.8 ~ +5.2 °C) and precipitation (+17 ~ +51 mm yr−1). The notable divergence in ecosystem services of water supply and carbon sequestration is expected to intensify under higher greenhouse gas emission and associated climate change in the future, posing greater challenges to managing NFs for both ecosystem services.}, journal={SCIENTIFIC REPORTS}, author={Duan, Kai and Sun, Ge and Sun, Shanlei and Caldwell, Peter V. and Cohen, Erika C. and McNulty, Steven G. and Aldridge, Heather D. and Zhang, Yang}, year={2016}, month={Apr} } @article{duan_sun_zhang_yahya_wang_madden_caldwell_cohen_mcnulty_2017, title={Impact of air pollution induced climate change on water availability and ecosystem productivity in the conterminous United States}, volume={140}, ISSN={0165-0009 1573-1480}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/S10584-016-1850-7}, DOI={10.1007/s10584-016-1850-7}, number={2}, journal={Climatic Change}, publisher={Springer Science and Business Media LLC}, author={Duan, Kai and Sun, Ge and Zhang, Yang and Yahya, Khairunnisa and Wang, Kai and Madden, James M. and Caldwell, Peter V. and Cohen, Erika C. and McNulty, Steven G.}, year={2017}, pages={259–272} } @article{sun_sun_cohen_mcnulty_caldwell_duan_zhang_2016, title={Projecting water yield and ecosystem productivity across the United States by linking an ecohydrological model to WRF dynamically downscaled climate data}, volume={20}, number={2}, journal={Hydrology and Earth System Sciences}, author={Sun, S.
