Columbia Basin
FloodProspects
Grow Dimmer
PORTLAND (a?) - No serious
flooding Is in prospect for the
Columbia basin this year, the
Weather Bureau River Forecast
Center said Monday.
This prospect will chance only
if .there are unusual conditions
a prolonged warm spell and heavy
rain to melt mountain snows and
send them down to the Columbia
River all at once, the forecasters
said.
There will be some local flood
ing in upstream tributaries any
way, but the worst expected in the
lower Columbia is a crest of 22
feet, said Hydrologist Anthony J.
Polos.
That crest will be in the Port
land and Vancouver harbors. Flood
stage is 15 feet at Vancouver, 18
feet at Portland. Little damage
results from a 22-foot leveL
Precipitation in March -was be
low normal for much of the area,
but some tributaries of the Snake
River got more than usual and
are expected to get unusually high
water states. The Big Lost, Big
Wood, Little Wood, Boise, Payette
and Weiser Rivers are among
these.
The lower Columbia runoff will
be 119 per cent of normal, but
far below last year or the flood
year of 1948. The volume of water
expected to pass The Dalles in the
year from last October to next
Sept. SO will be 1S9.000.000 acre
feet. It was 169,000,000 last year
and 171,000,000 in 1948.
