Magazine Article Tells Function of Snow Survey Work An article explaining the use and function of west coast co operative snow surveys publish ed in the current issue of West ern Construction News. One of the three coauthors is R. A. "Arch" Work, senior irrigation engineer at the Southern Oregon Experiment station. The article gives a description of the work, in which many state, federal, municipal, commercial and private agencies cooperate, and it tells the uses to which the survey is put forecasting flood possibilities, drought conditions, irrigation water supplies, and run-off patterns. Others collaborating in prep aration of the article are Paul A. Ewing, senior irrigation econ omist of the soil conservation s e r v i c e, Berkeley, Cal., and Clyde E. Houston, irrigation en gineer of the soil conservation service in Reno, Nev. Follow Pattern Forecasts given in the article largely follow the pattern of predictions made by the local office of the cooperative survey and published previously in The Mail Tribune, although they cover a larger territory. The story points out the flood potential in the northwestern states this year, indicates that drought conditions are spreading through the southwest, shows in dications of liberal water sup plies in the mountain states, and forecasts a run-off pattern sim ilar to 1949's.
