Abstract | A unique application of water supply forecasting is developed for predicting the rise of Yellowstone Lake in Yellowstone National Park, as effecting the growth or decline in the production of cutthroat trout. The need for such foreknowledge is shown in a discussion of fisheries management procedures. The forecasting procedure was first derived graphically and later refined by electronic computer, multiple correlation procedures to use 4 independent variables, height and date of peak rise in the lake are forecast accurately. In discussion Mr. C. H. Clay covers other factors effecting fisheries management and stream control. |
