Book Description
Excerpt from Federal-State Cooperative Snow Surveys and Water Supply Forecasts for Colorado River, Platte River, Arkansas River and Rio Grande Drainage Basins: Issued April 10, 1958 Snow measurements will be continued over the state until June 1 at 15-day intervals to inventory the mountain snowpack. Rather large deviations from normal of snowfall in April and May will be required to cause shortages or excesses in water supply in most areas of the state. New mexico. Snowfall in Northern New Mexico was relatively high during March. All snow measurements are now above average. With good soil moisture conditions under the snow it is expected that the flow of the Rio Grande and its tributaries through New Mexico will be near or above normal this year. Storage in Elephant Butte reservoir is about 85 percent of normal. Last year it was nearly empty. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Federal-State Cooperative Snow Surveys and Water Supply Forecasts for Colorado River, Platte River, Arkansas River, and Rio Grande Drainage Basins: Issued March 1, 1965 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.

Book Description
Excerpt from Federal-State Cooperative Snow Surveys and Water Supply Forecasts for Colorado River, Platte River, Arkansas River and Rio Grande Drainage Basins: Issued May 1, 1966 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. Forecasts become more accurate as more of the data affecting runoff are measured. All forecasts assume that climatic factors during the remainder of the snow accumulation and melt season as they affect runoff will add to be an effective average. Early season forecasts are therefore subject to a greater change than those made on later dates. The snow course measurement is obtained by sampling snow depth and water equivalent at surveyed and marked locations in mountain areas. A total of about ten samples are taken at each location. The average of these are reported as snow depth and water equivalent. These measurements are repeated in the same location near the same dates each year. 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.
