Description:
Seasonal variations of water-balance components at an experimental watershed were measured for three hydrologic years. Snowfall accounts for 47% of the annual precipitation, and snowmelt runoff comprises 45% of the total runoff. Evaporation changed markedly during the season; it increased during May to August, decreased in September and October, and was negligibly small during the period of snow cover in winter. Losses due to evaporation reached half of the precipitation during summer, and total loss is about 26 % of the annual precipitation.
