Abstract

Our analyses illustrate the linkage between arroyos and changes that occurred through time in local precipitation patterns. Substantial archival and geological evidence confirms dominant downcutting in the intermediate and small-size arroyos within the basin for a 20- to 30- year period beginning near 1905. Historical climatic records reveal a long and severe drought from 1898-1904; this drought ended abruptly with three years dominated by unusually frequent high-intensity summer rainfall events. -from Authors
