Mountain Snowpack and Our Water Supply: Why do we weigh the snow?

The Nevada Irrigation District depends on Sierra snowpack for its water supply. On one hand, it’s a simple process. During winter, snow amasses in the higher elevations. The warmer temperatures of spring and early summer melt the snow, and it creates water runoff that flows down to the foothills through the District’s infrastructure and to your tap.
