📊We’re about halfway through the traditional snow survey season, with the two sites that we monitor in the Yuba River watershed showing snowpack is about average for this time of year. 💧The Sierra snowpack is considered the state’s largest reservoir, filling rivers and lakes with water as it melts each spring. Understanding how much snow we have and how much water is in that snow is essential for water managers (like us!) to forecast the year’s water supply for people, agriculture and the environment. Having an idea about how much water is in the snowpack also helps us reduce flood risk. ❄️Learn more about snow surveys and why they matter: https://bit.ly/dwr-ss
