<br />jj01546 <br /> <br />Management possibilities <br /> <br /> <br />Seaso,nal water supply can bepredidedwith considerable accuracy <br />from precipitation and snowpack records correlated with'stream' gaging <br />records. For those where such correlations are available, early season <br />releases of water to downstream users or other storage may be advan- <br />tageousbecause channel losses are generally ata rriinimum during the <br />per iod when the major part of this runoff occurs . Later in the' year, any <br />water releas ed from an upstream reservoir may be lost to downstream <br />use due to natural channel depletions. Under these assumptions, it may <br />be desirable to fill stock ponds near the ,end of the snowmelt'and runoff <br />season. <br /> <br />A forecast of seasonal distribution of supply when the SOtlrce of <br />runoff is from rainfall is virtually impossible. <br /> <br />
