  text: Streamflow is a hydrological variable measured at a defined river cross-section;
    it spatially integrates the runoff generating processes in the contributing watershed,
    including precipitation and air temperature. Trends in streamflow are progressive
    changes in the time series of streamflow that can be detected with statistical
    methods and their statistical significance can be assessed. Mountainous regions
    are particularly vulnerable to streamflow change because of their high specific
    runoff and the sensitivity to the distribution of precipitation and air temperature,
    and the processes of snow accumulation and melt.
