Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Water Supply Outlook for Nevada and Federal-State-Private Cooperative Snow Surveys: As of Apr. 1, 1974
The entire area experienced warm weather during mid-march. This ripened most of the snowpack and melted much of the lower elevation snow cover. The melting snows primed the watersheds and started streamflow runoff. The primed condition will allow a majority of the remaining snow cover to pro duce streamflow. Reservoir storage is excellent in all three river basins. Stored water in the Truckee Basin is 135 percent of average; Lahontan Reservoir in the Carson watershed contains acre-feet, which is 94 percent of capac ity, and Topaz and Bridgeport Reservoirs on the Walker River are full. Streamflow is expected to be above average throughout the entire area this spring and summer. This streamflow, coupled with the excellent reservoir supplies, indicates a very good water supply for western Nevada this irrigation season.
