Abstract	Various methods of forecasting streamflow from snow surveys are reviewed. Data for Lamoille Creek, Nevada in 1938 are used to compare 3 different systems of obtaining average water content of the snow cover. Boardman’s Percent Normal System, and the direct curve method of computing the average water content are illustrated. The direct method retains all the desirable features of the percentage system yet eliminates computing normals and percentages.Discussions are presented by Fred H. Paget, J.E. Phillips, James C. Marr, and R.D. Goodrige.
