SNOWPACK

Snowpack

Snowpack forms from layers of snow that accumulate in geographic regions and high altitudes where the climate includes cold weather for extended periods during the year. Snowpacks are an important water resource that feed streams and rivers as they melt. Therefore snowpacks are both the drinking water source for many communities and a potential source of flooding . Snowpacks also contribute mass to glaciers in their accumulation zone.
