Multiple linear regression results for the three models (shown in Fig. 5)

Model Sample size R2 Residual mean absolute error, % Precipitation coefficient and 95% CI ETo coefficient and 95% CI
All 3,119 0.271 23.3 1.41 [1.32, 1.50] −1.09 [−1.42, −0.76]
Natural 570 0.363 20.0 1.43 [1.24, 1.61] −1.41 [−2.00, −0.81]
Human modified 2,549 0.256 24.1 1.41 [1.31, 1.51] −1.01 [−1.39, −0.63]

For all three models, the median daily streamflow trend (in percentage) is the dependent variable and total water-year precipitation and ETo trend (both in percentage) are the independent variables. All models and all individual regression coefficients have P < 0.001. CIs show considerable overlap between models, suggesting that a differential response to climate forcing is not evident.
