Ephemeral snow and ice melt contribute substantially to dry season runoff in the Rio Santa basin, with snowmelt accounting for up to 55% and ice melt up to 44% of inputs, according to results from a distributed glacio-hydrological model applied to quantify cryospheric contributions to the Andean water cycle.
