Streamflow.
Streamflow is forecast to be near to slightly below average for the
basin. The 50 percent chance yield near Heise is expected to be
3,730,000 acre feet (92 percent of normal). Yield from the Snake River
above Palisades Reservoir is estimated to be 2,464,000 acre feet (92
percent of normal). The Snake at Moran is expected to yield 810,000
acre feet (93 percent of normal). Pacific Creek at Moran will probably
yield 177,000 acre feet (107 percent of average). Greys River above
Palisades Reservoir is estimated to yield 355,000 acre feet (92 percent
of normal). Salt River near Etna is estimated to have a yield of
380,000 acre feet (95 percent of normal).

The average is computed for the 1961-1990 base period. (1) - The values listed under the 10% and 90% Chance of Exceeding are actually 5% and 95% exceedance levels. (2) - The value is natural volume - actual volume may be affected by upstream water management.
