Snowpack Monitoring

Snowpack Monitoring involves measuring the amount of snow accumulated in a region to assess water resources, flood risks, and ecological health. It uses tools like snow sensors, remote sensing, and field observations to track snow depth, water content, and snowpack stability. This data helps officials predict spring water availability, manage reservoirs, and prepare for potential avalanches or floods. Accurate monitoring is vital for communities dependent on snowmelt and for understanding environmental changes related to climate variability.
