    Climate Change in Aquatic Environments and Hydrology Temperature Precipitation Shift from snow to rain. Glaciers are reduced and / or eliminated. Snow pack is reduced. Increased water temperature. Increased erosion from lost glaciers and extreme flood events. Greater peak flows and reduced late-summer stream flow. Smaller perrenial streams become intermittent. Wetlands are reduced and/or dry up.
