ASU-SRP snow surveys show much of Arizona’s headwater snowpack melted in weeks

Repeat airborne snow surveys over the Upper Black River found that due to a dry and warm winter, most of the snow water measured in January and February had melted by mid-March, offering water managers a view of how quickly the season changed. The first flight in January measured about 9.1 thousand acre-feet (TAF) of snow water equivalent. A second survey in February measured 9.5 TAF, showing only modest accumulation. By the time the third survey flew on March 12, however, the basin held just 0.8 TAF of snow water.
