Abstract | A short term water supply forecasting procedure is outlined for the Kings River Basin, in California. Current data collected from aerial lmarkers and pressure pillows and temperature to cause snowmelt are correlated with streamflow data to produce a forecasting procedure for volume streamflow information. Correlation procedures are accomplished by electronic data processing methods for a day-to-day flow pattern or hydrograph. forecasts are updated as differences in parameter values become significant. The Kings River is used as an example and details of the procedures are illustrated. |
