Snow Hydrology for Multiple-Purpose Reservoirs
Snow is a form of precipitation possessing certain characteristics which can be evaluated and applied to advantage, both from an hydrologic and an economic viewpoint, in the planning and design of multiple-purpose storage reservoirs. This paper describes briefly the processes of snow melting and runoff, and presents criteria and examples of procedures followed in applying the knowledge of these processes to determine reservoir space allocations and spillway capacities. The writer calls attention to the gap existing between detailed physical knowledge of evaporation and melting processes and application of this knowledge to practical design problems.
