The **NRCS Montana Snow Survey Program** provides mountain snowpack and precipitation data via manual snowpack measurements (Snow Courses) and the SNOwpack TELemetry (SNOTEL) network to forecast snowmelt-driven runoff during spring and summer. Individuals, organizations, and state and federal agencies use the information provided for decisions relating to agricultural production, fish and wildlife management, municipal and industrial water supply, urban development, flood control, recreation, power generation, and water quality management.
 
 
**Product Highlights****Water Supply****Daily Statewide Conditions****Daily River Basin Conditions**
Monthly summaries are available for statewide and river basin scale and webpages are developed for access to streamflow forecasts, reservoir contents and other water supply tools. 

These tools can be found by clicking the links below, or using the navigation bar above.

Legacy Water Supply Outlook Reports

This web page displays  ***interactive***  state-wide content which allows the water user to directly interact with the maps and products created by the NRCS and other cooperating agencies. 

****While useful for assessing periods between the official monthly reports, these tools should only be used to supplement the monthly products. Since they use a smaller selection of sites to create daily products, they offer a reasonable, but not comprehensive, overview of overall snowpack and precipitation.  *

 

This web page allows water users in individual river basins to see ***interactive*** maps, plots and other information specific to their river basin, or sub-basin of interest. 

Click on the link to visit be directed to an example river basin, or use the Navigation Bar at the top view your river basin of interest.
