The figures are contained in a report compiled at the office of State Engineer T. H. Humpherys from reports of 30 U. S. weather bureau stations 16 cooperative snow courses, and of 10 water commissioner commission-er reports from various sections of the state. The Bear and Weber river water sheaS, to date, are the most deficient defic-ient of the entire state, however, there is 40 per cent of the total precipitation for the season yet to come, ana about 25 per cent of the time left in which precipitation is expected. Summit and parts of Morgan and Wasatch counties, which comprise the Weber river water shed, are only 50 per cent to 75 per cent of normal, according to the information available. avail-able. The northern part of Rich county, on the Bear river drainage, is in the same category. While the northern part of Box Elder county is extremely low in precipitation, the average for that county and most of Tooele county is approximately 75 to 100 per cent of normal. The average moisture for the southern part of the state is much greater than that of the northern and central sections, with exception of the western portions of Beaver, Millard and Juab counties, which range with the lowest. The average of the extreme southeast section of the state is as high as 75 per cent above normal, according to the report. re-port. - Based on present precipitation and snow cover, the runoff of the Bear and Weber rivers for the coming com-ing season is forecast at 35 per cent below normal, while that of the J?ro-vo, J?ro-vo, Ogden, Logan and Spanish Fork rivers is forecast at 15 per cent below be-low normal.
