摘要

This is an interesting and readable book that describes the first decades of field research design tornquantify the relationships between winter snowcover and spring runoff in the western United States (U.S.). More than 60 million people in the western U.S. rely on water from mountain river basins for their drinking, irrigation, and industrial needs, while more than one billion people globally depend on water from seasonally snow covered catchments. The quantity of water available from these snow-fed rivers, reservoirs, and aquifers varies with trends in precipitation and temperature as well as with changes in forest properties. Knowledge of how much water will be available each year is critical for urban and agricultural interests in the region both from a standpoint of what and how much to plant, how to manage reservoirs, and from when to warn of potential floods.
