Abstract | The various hydrological factors pertaining to the White River basin, one of the coastal streams in western Washington are analyzed for the purpose of planning the operation of the Mud Mountain Dam, a flood control project. Access to the basin is limited to one road up the main valley and over Cayuse and chinook Passes to the east. Access to tributary streams is by foot and difficult traveling. A network of meteorological stations was established. Snow survey courses were laid out to augment the data for possible flash flood conditions. Data and curves are exhibited and a plan of operation discussed.A formal discussion with data and alternate plans are presented by J.C. Stevens and remarks by F.M. Veatch. |
