This could be covered by an error in <br />• fl or: monitoring of Station Sli-5 and by the exceptionally wet year <br />(1983) with a thick snowpack and a relatively short period of <br />melting. <br />Lung-term monitoring of the parameters is necessary for the water <br />budget, and repeated calculation will add to the confidence in <br />tt,e performed hydrologic balance studies. <br /> <br />• <br /> <br />
