§ 228 Seasonal Water Crop Forecast

• •The government collects information about how much water will be available each year.
• •They check snow levels to help predict water supply.
• •They can work with others (like other states or agencies) to get this information.

Imagine it’s winter, and there’s a lot of snow in the mountains.

The government sends people to measure the snow so they can guess how much water will melt and fill rivers and lakes in the spring. This helps farmers and cities plan for water use.
