TY - Generic T1 - Precipitation-surveys for anticipating water supplies T2 - 4th Annual Western Interstate Snow Survey Conference Y1 - 1936 A1 - Burton, H.K. A1 - Alter, J.C. KW - Water management AB - A narrative of the meteorological and hydrological occurrences over the Wasatch Mountains, 25 miles east of Salt Lake City, Utah. Snow melt water from this area furnishes the water supply for Salt Lake City and the surrounding irrigated agricultural areas. The bulk of the water supply occurs during a few weeks during May and June and usually in the form of rushing floods. This period is also when maximum storms, warm weather, and melting of the winter snowpack occurs. Ground water supply does not play an important part. For sufficient year round supplies, reservoir storage is essential. Rain gage measurements and snow survey measurements are used to compute the probable runoff for reservoir management. No data or procedures are presented.
