Abstract
- The article presents a study on the contribution of glaciers to streamflow in the headwaters of the Huasco River in the Dry Andes of Chile. It mentions that its quantitative assessment is required for the anticipation of climate change effect on water resources in the region. It also notes direct manual measurements of glacier runoff which showed instantaneous contribution of its meltwater to stream overflow during summer.
