Federal State Cooperative Snow Surveys And Irrigation Water Supply Forecasts For Platte Arkansas River Basins PDF Download

Excerpt from Federal-State Cooperative Snow Surveys and Water Supply Forecasts for Platte-Arkansas Rivers Basin: Issued May 9, 1955 On the Sweetwater River, snow-cover is slightly less than normal, Runoff in Pathfinder Reservoir next summer will be substantially below average. Snow-cover on the North Platte watershed in Colorado and Wyoming is 80 percent of normal, A departure from normal is heavy snow in the Laramie Peaks District south of the river between Casper and Douglas, On the upper watershed the snow cover now is 30 percent greater than on May 1, 19511. Inflow to Seminoe Reservoir this year is expected to be greater than for a year ago at about three-quarters of normal. Storage in the four major reservoirs on the North Platte in Wyoming now totals acre-feet as compared to acre-feet a year ago. Most of this water is assigned to the Alcova Project with very little available for the irrigated areas of eastern Wyoming and western Nebraska, Irriga tion water supplies in the latter area will be dependent on 1955 summer flows supplemented by rainfall. Shortage of irrigation water is expected. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
