JENNINGS: <br /> <br />however, when the winter weather set in we <br />did move those drills out. We anticipate <br />getting them back in as soon as we have <br />favorable weather this spring, Larry." <br /> <br />"Bob, maybe you'd answer a question for <br />me and maybe some of the other members of the <br />Board and the audience don't know, but how do <br />you collect your runoff information? What <br />agencies are involved? How often do you do <br />it? I see some divergent percentages in read- <br />ing the paper, at least I believe I do, and <br />I know it's important and interesting to all <br />of us so maybe you can briefly give us a <br />Ii ttle background on that." <br /> <br />"Are you talking about the forecast for <br />the runoff?" <br /> <br />"Right. " <br /> <br />"Well, I think there are probably three <br />or four agencies that are making these fore- <br />casts. I think the Weather Bureau comes out <br />with a forecast; the S.C.S.; I know that the <br />Bureau makes a forecast. There may be others <br />but I don't recall offhand and I believe each <br />one of them haVe a little different basis. <br />Now there are probably individuals in the <br />audience that can give you more detailed in- <br />formation on it. I think the Weather Bureau <br />mainly gives a little more weight to precipi~ <br />tation. I think maybe the S.C.S. gives quite <br />a little weight to their snow surveys. So <br />you do get, particularly in the early stages, <br />some differences in these forecasts. I think <br />as they all come down towards the end of the <br />winter, the end of the snow periods, they <br />become closer together. But I know you do get <br />some differences in these forecasts, particu- <br />larly early in the season." <br /> <br />"Is there any coordination between these <br />agencies that are involved?" <br /> <br />"I couldn't answer for all of them, Ben, <br />
