Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the United States Department of Agricultureâs method of measuring snowpack for water supply forecasting in the Western United States. This method, called a snow survey, consists of a series of snow samples taken with specially designed equipment along a permanently marked line, called a snow course. 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. Data collected from snow surveys is used to create streamflow forecasts, which are obtained by comparing 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. This book provides detailed information on snow survey measurements, streamflow forecasts, reservoir storage, soil moisture and other guide data to water management and conservation decisions.
