Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water Supply Outlook and Federal-State-Private Cooperative Snow Surveys for Nevada as of Mar. 1, 1963 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. 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 equ1valent 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 excerpt: Excerpt from Nevada Cooperative Snow Surveys: Seasonal Snow Survey and Kindred Data With Forecast of Streamflow in Nevada; March 1, 1946 The plan of measuring the runoff of all the principal tributaries of the Humboldt has now been accomplished by gages along the main stream or at the outlet of the feeders. The cross-sectional measurement has been planned for all water centers along the river. Stations for the Lamoille and bishop-trout Creek areas are still lacking.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Federal-State Cooperative Snow Surveys and Water Supply Forecasts for Nevada: April 1, 1959 April 1 forecasts range from.65% of normal flow on the Carson River to 18% of normal on the Owyhee River and a low Of 12% of normal on the Humboldt River. During the april-july runoff period, below normal flows are also expected in western Nevada. On the truckee-tahoe system, the Truckee Basin water Committee is forecasting a flow of acre feet or 50% of the 1938-52 normal on the Little Truckee above Boca. On the Truckee at Farad, the fore cast is for acre feet or A2% of the 1938-52 normal. On April 1, the elevation of Lake Tahoe was feet above sea level. The rise of Lake Tahoe, from April 1, is expected to be feet or aa% of the 1938-52 normal rise. All forecasts are based on the assumption of normal temperature and precipitation during the forecast period.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Federal-State-Private Cooperative Snow Survey and Water Supply Forecasts for Nevada as of Mar. 1, 1961 The climate of the cultivated and populated areas of the West is characterized by relatively dry summer months.

This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water Supply Outlook for Nevada and Federal-State-Private Cooperative Snow Surveys 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 1900 snow courses in Western United States and in the Columbia Basin in British Columbia. Networks of automatic snow water equivalent and related data sensing devices, along with radio telemetry are expanding and will provide a continuous record of snow water and other parameters at key locations. Detailed data on snow course and soil moisture measurements are presented in state and local reports. Other data on reservoir storage, summaries of precipitation, current streamflow, and soil moisture conditions at valley elevations are also included. The report for Western United States presents a broad picture of water supply outlook conditions, including selected streamflow forecasts, summary of snow accumulation to date, and storage in larger reservoirs.
