Precipitation gage placement in mountainous areas based on gage site characteristics Item Info

The objective of this study was to determine which, if any, physical parameters might be useful in gage placement and network design. The area chosen for initial study was the Reynolds Creek watershed in southwester Idaho. The watershed has a dense gage network and is operated by the Northwest Watershed Research Center, Agricultural Research Service, USDA at Boise. The drainage areas is 233 sq. km and teh elevation ranges from 1097 m to 2252 m. About 75 percent of the mean annual precipitation occurs from October to April and is mainly in the form of snow.
