Why all that snow we’re shoveling may not rescue Utah from a bad water year Brian Maffly © Leah Hogsten (Leah Hogsten | The Salt Lake Tribune) Jordan Clayton, supervisor with Utah Snow Survey for the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) shown with his dog Gus, at the Daniels Strawberry Snotel or snow telemetry network site, Feb. 3, 2021. The tall tower is equipped with wind, temperature, snow depth and solar radiation sensors. The brown tower, left, is a precipitation gage. All the sensors send information to the equipment shelter, right, where the data is uploaded to the NRCS. Snotels are located in often remote, high-elevation mountain watersheds and monitor snowpack, precipitation, soil moisture, temperature, and other climatic conditions affecting Utah s watersheds. Since roughly 95% of Utah s water supply comes from snowmelt, Snow Survey staff use Snotel data to forecast summer water supply conditions in the state s watersheds.
