Airborne Snow Observatories, ASU help SRP measure snowpack

Salt River Project has teamed up with ASU and Airborne Snow Observatories to measure the snowpack in the Salt River Basin. ASO uses aircraft outfitted with lidar technology to measure the snowpack. ASU grad students then put the data into hydrological models to help inform how much water comes into the Salt River Basin.
