Abstract

The effect of fall precipitation as a soil priming factor in predicting irrigation water supply from April first snow survey data is presented. Graphical analysis are illustrated and discussed. Snow survey data at nine courses, and precipitation data for April, May and October at Moran, Wyoming, are tabulated and used in the analysis. Forecasts are determined from the graphs illustrated. Discussion by H.T. Gisborn, Lynn Crandle, O.W. Monson and J.E. Church are included.
