Excerpt from Water Supply Outlook and Federal-State-Private Cooperative Snow Surveys for Nevada as of Mar. 1, 1965 The climate of the cultivated and populated areas of the West 15 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. A snow survey consists of a series of about ten samples taken with specially designed snow sampling equipment along a permanently marked line, up to 1000 feet in length, called a snow course. The use of snow sampling equipment provides snow depth and water equivalent values for each sampling point. The average of these values is reported as the snow survey-measurement for a snow course. Snow surveys are made monthly or semi-monthly beginning in January or February and continue through the snow season until April, May or June. Currently more than 1400 western snow courses are measured each year. These measurements furnish the key data for water supply forecasts. Streamflow forecasts are obtained by a comparison of total or maximum snow accumulation, as measured by snow water equivalent, to the subsequent Spring and summer or snowmelt season runoff over a period of years. The snow water equivalent measured in selected snow courses provides most of the index to the streamflow forecast for the following season. More accurate forecasts are usually obtained when other factors such as soil moisture, base flow and spring precipitation are considered and included in the forecast procedure. Early season forecasts assume average climatic conditions through the snowmelt season. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Water Supply Outlook for Nevada and Federal-State-Private Cooperative Snow Surveys as of Apr. 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 cari 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.

Excerpt from Water Supply Outlook and Federal-State-Private Cooperative Snow Surveys for Nevada as of Apr. 1, 1966 Snow surveys are made monthly or semi-monthly from January 1 through June 1 in most states There are about 1400 snow courses in Western United States and in the Columbia Basin in British Columbia In the near future, it is anticipated that automatic snow water equivalent sensing devices along With radio telemetry Will provide a continuous record of snow water equivalent at key locations.
