Short summary
This study explores how snow dynamics and hydropower reservoirs shape monthly runoff in the Yalong River basin, China. Using 15 years of data and an extended Budyko framework, we found that snow accumulation and melt dominate runoff in high-altitude areas, while reservoirs increasingly influence lower elevations. These factors reduce runoff seasonality at the basin outlet, emphasizing how climate change and human activity alter water availability in cold, mountainous regions.
