| Abstract | The hypothetical operation of the proposed Pine Flat Dam on the Kings River, California as outlined by Paget is discussed. Several improvements in the technique of recognizing the start of the decline of runoff are suggested. Some of the methods permit recognition of the start of the decline within 5 days after the peak flow has occurred. (See also SIP 1908 - WSC 154-43)Discussion by L. Standish Hall presents a similar problem on the Mokelumne River in operating the Salt Springs and Pardee Dams. Operational graphs are presented and discussed. Further discussion is presented by R. K. Linsley, suggesting further methods of defining the snow melt hydrograph. |
