 SAN JUAN RIVER BASIN SPRING FLOOD POTENTIAL OUTLOOK

The 2007 spring runoff flood potential is not high at this time for streams
throughout the San Juan River Basin. The observed water year precipitation
to date is 113% of average. Snow water equivalent as of January 1 was 80% in
the Upper San Juan and 77% in the Animas.

It is important to note that it is very early in the snow accumulation season 
and that the spring flood threat due to runoff will largely be determined by 
hydrometeorologic events that occur during the next several months. If current
patterns persist then we will have a very low threat of spring flooding from 
snow melt runoff.
