B - April-June Precipitation (single season)
As the seasons migrate towards the springtime, one eye of an interested stake
holder in precipitation is looking at seasonal projections for snowpack/runoff another
concern might be along the lines of “what help/hindrance might spring hold”? This can
be in 1) assistance to the outright runoff of surface water and 2) the potential for direct
precipitation to help early crop growth.
District 26
In comparing the precipitation at Saguache to the preceding HCI values, there is
minimal inference that can be made from the values for the area.
