Abstract | Snow survey measurements of 1935 are compared with actual runoff records for the 1935-36 season for each of the 4 watershed; Bishop, Rush, Leevining, Mill Creeks. A graph shows a comparison of the total runoff on all the watersheds combined with precipitation measured at catch-can stations. Experience and observation have proven that a fair forecast of variable water and KWH can be made from catch-can measurements. The catch station cans are about 5 ft in depth and have a cross section area of 1 sq. foot. |
