from reservoirs have in sight,
good to fair water supplies, the
report says. Areas depending on
unregulated stream flows have
in prospect, fair to deficient
supplies.
Mountain snow cover con
tinues below average, though the
February snowfall was nearly
normal. Snow cover above 3000
feet is about 12 per cent greater
than that of a year ago, and
approximately 80 per cent of
normal. Below normal the snow
cover is 53 per cent of one year
ago, and only 38 per cent of nor
mal, the report explains.
Total water stored in princi
pal Oregon irrigation reservoirs
is only seven per cent less than
JACKSON
(km
rot March 1 last year, and Is 84
per cent of the ten year average.
Total storage now averages 46
per cent of capacity, and the
number of reservoirs half full or
better, is less than in the past
years.
Precipitation accumulated in
Oregon valleys since October 1
lis 86 per cent of normal, as com
pared with 72 per cent for last
year, at this time.
Preliminary forecasts of April-
September stream flow, based
on existing mountain snow cov
er, and figuring the increase
during March will be average,
indicate a state-wide deficiency
of run-off, the report shows.
Greatest deficiencies in flow are
foreseen ' for the Malhuer and
Silvies rivers, Deep Creek in
Warner valley, and for supply to
Oclioco, Crescent Lake, and Hiatt
Prairie reservoirs. Prospects are
relatively better elsewhere in the
state, but still are far below nor
mal run-off.
