SUNDAY. MAY 13. 1362 MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNifi MEDFORD. OREGON PP&L Crew Studies Snow Survey Results On the high shoulders ot tlie Cascade mountains, far up fit the headwaters the Klamath, Umpqua and Rogue river watersheds, crews of Pacific Power and Light com pany probed into the deep snow to complete a survey of snow depth and moisture content that is made each month of the winter. Bit by bit, as the data is compiled, it will be studied during the next few weeks by PP&L's hydrologists and pow er supply engineers. The results will help the power company get estimates of how much water will flow in the three rivers this spring and summer. The data is im porAnt to the men responsi ble for scheduling hydroelec tric production at Pacific Power's 22 powchouscs locat ed along the streams. Knowing how much water may be coming in the weeks ahead helps assure conserva tion of the supply so every drop can be used and not wasted. If there is more than enough to supply customers, some can be sold or ex changed with neighboring utilities. One alternative plan would put the power into a reserve account with other power companies. It then can be called back when needed in the future in a dry year. The aim is to get the most efficient output from the more than 400,000 kilowatts of generating capacity on the three rivers, the company's engineers explain. The snow surveys, and why they are made and how they are used, are little-known phases of a power company's hydroelectric system opera tions. The data help convert rainfall and snow into elec- Tit n i f SU j. JtAS MEASURE CONTENT Measuring the wa ter content of snowficlds in the high Cas cades at 36 isolated locations is the job of Pacific Power and Light company's crews, now completing their last survey of the season.

Given Odd Nanus The locations of the snow course markers include spots with such interesting ident ifying names as Whaleback, Windigo Pass and Trap Creek on the Umpqua watershed; Annie Springs, Rye Spring Spur and Silver Burn on the Rogue, and familiar Klam math spots such as Bly 101 Ranch, Billie Creek Divide and Fort Klamath. Compiling the data on mois ture stored in the snow at these sites Is only part of the chore. Months ago, the company's hydraulic engineers at Port land put on electronic data processing tape the data rep resenting average flow pat terns of past years for the Klamath river. From this a schedule of operation for each powerhouse is prepared. Each month, beginning in January, a new river flow forecast is calculated for each stream. Recalculate Charts Once the first moisture data from the current season's work were available, new operating schedules were com puted. These were based on whether the latest forecast in dicated a flow of above or below normal. Later, if it rains twice as much as normal in June on the Klamath watershed, the utility's engineers can plan to get more power from its plants on that river. With more water in reserve, the generators can run longer each day. Actual river flow Is also measured daily at many gauge according to PP&L's power superintendent, Phil Humphreys, former Medford resident. Changes in produc tion schedules can be made again within a few hours. Work Reduces Coils If July and August are un usually dry, the engineers again recalculate their pro grams, and arrange to obtain power from other sources. "All of these calculations are based on formulae that are endlessly complex, but they mean that our hydro electric system can be op erated more efficiently, with each plant being used to best advantage to help hold down the cost of providing power service to our customers," Humphreys noted.
