Snow is the second important part of precipitation. Although it does not yield immediate run-off, but is generally responsible for delayed supplies of water. Thus, most of our Himalayan rivers are snow fed and are, therefore, in a position to provide continuous perennial supply of water. Snowfall is generally measured by a non-recording type of rain-gauge. The snow is melted and measured. To measure the snow, snow surveys are also conducted. In India, snow surveys are generally conducted in March or April, i.e., at the start of summer season, When snow starts melting. These surveys are useful in estimating the amount of available water expected due to the melting of snow in summer.
