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-

work.

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.
