Abstract
“Snow Hydrology – a Manageable Water Resource” This talk will review the physical principles of snow accumulation, redistribution, melt and management using vegetation and snow fences. It will examine the physical processes of snow accumulation and melt in the Western Canadian environment and review snow management techniques suitable for the prairie and forest environments and their impacts on downstream flows and soil moisture.
