Lake Powell SWE vs Inflow• Below is a scatter plot of the % average of the snow water equivalent for this index for April 7 and the %
average of the April-July volumes for the years 1987-2009. As you can see by the diagonal line, the snow index is not necessarily a good indicator of run-off volume. In fact, as the % average snow decreases the resulting volume becomes much less. This is likely due to losses such as sublimation, evaporation, and bank storage which can become more pronounced in drier years. Our ESP model (see below) takes these, and other hydrologic factors, into consideration. Plugging this year’s current index value into the equation gives a result of 62%, or 4.9 maf.
