Excerpt from Water Supply Outlook for Nevada and Federal-State-Private Cooperative Snow Surveys Streamflow will be very limited on all Sierra streams this season. Dry weather conditions continue throughout the state, so streamflow forecasts are lower than last month's. The Snake River in the northeastern part of the state is the only area that will have average to slightly above average streamflow this season. The Humboldt River and tributaries will have below average flows. Snow surveys taken for May 1 indicate very little snow except in the higher elevations. Snowpacks range from 10 to 35 percent in the Sierras, 115 percent on the Upper Humboldt and 125 percent on the Snake River. All other areas are below average. Reservoir storage in major reservoirs is 110 percent of the 1958-72 average. This storage will be required to supplement water supplies this summer.

Excerpt from Water Supply Outlook for Nevada, And, Federal-State-Private Cooperative Snow Surveys: May 1983 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 will interact with a resultant average effect on runoff Early season forecasts are therefore subject to a greater change than those made on later dates.

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: February 1973 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 will interact with a resultant average effect on runoff. 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 lo, cation. 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.

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.
