Abstract
⺠Brownian motion with an absorbing barrier mimics resources at a critical threshold. ⺠Its time-dependent coefficients μt and Ït2/2 resemble external drivers like climate. ⺠Associated Fokker-Planck equation is solved via the method of images (MoI). ⺠MoI is applicable to time-dependent problems only if μt and Ït2/2 are proportional. ⺠The results are used to model water availability in snowmelt dominated regions.
