- Description:
- The general subject of permeability of frozen soil and particularly the infiltration rate of frozen soil is of particular interest to hydrologists in the Northwest. A great many of our worst floods have been caused by storms occurring when the soil was frozen such that the infiltration rate was extremely slow. When this occurs, all or nearly all of the storm precipitation appears as surface runoff. Some of the more recent storms of this type were during the winters of 1962 and 1964, when there were several of these flood occurances in various sections of Idaho, eastern Oregon, and Washington. Presentation at the 16th annual meeting, Pacific Northwest Region, American Geophysical Union, at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, October 16 and 17, 1969.
