Excerpt from Water Supply Outlook for Nevada and Federal-State-Private Cooperative Snow Surveys as of Mar. 1, 1969 Streamflow forecasts for the april-july period are much above normal for the entire state. Small streams fed by low-elevation snow will have abundant early flows this season. Generally, streamflow is expected to start early with the melt of the low-elevation snow and then continue with higher-than-normal flows into early August.

Excerpt from Water Supply Outlook and Federal-State-Private Cooperative Snow Surveys for Nevada as of Mar. 1, 1964 The climate of the cultivated and populated areas of the West is characterized by relatively dry summer months. Such precipitation as occurs falls mostly in the winter and early spring months when it is of little immediate benefit to growing crops. Most of this precipitation falls as mountain snow which stays on the ground for months, melting later to sustain streamflow during the period of greatest demand during late spring and summer. Thus, nature provides in mountain snow an imposing water storage facility. The amount of water stored in mountain snow varies from place to place as well as from year to year and accordingly, so does the runoff of the streams. The best seasonal management of variable western water supplies results from advance estimates of the streamflow.

Excerpt from Water Supply Outlook for Nevada and Federal-State-Private Cooperative Snow Surveys as of Mar. 1, 1968 Most of the usable water in western states originates as mountain snowfall. This snowfall accumulates during the winter and spring, several months before the snow melts and appears as streamflow. Since the runoff from precipitation as snow is delayed, estimates of snowmelt runoff can be made well in advance of its occurrence. Streamflow forecasts published in this report are based principally on measurement of the water equivalent of the mountain snowpack.
