Northern Research Basins Water Balance (Proceedings of a workshop held at Victoria, Canada, March 2004). IAHS Publ. 290, 2004, 143–151

Abstract An initial water balance has been set up for the Pisissarfik watershed on the west coast of Greenland. The balance shows that precipitation data are problematic and that more detailed studies are needed on evapotranspiration and storage before a more trustworthy balance can be achieved.
