Izinhlelo zokugcina zihlomisa zonke iziteshi ze-snowpack telemetry e-Idaho ukuze zilinganise umswakama wenhlabathi zingasiza ababikezeli bokuhlinzekwa kwamanzi nabalimi.
I-USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service isebenzisa iziteshi ezingu-118 ezigcwele ze-SNOTEL ezithatha izilinganiso ezizenzakalelayo zemvula enqwabelene, okulingana namanzi eqhwa, ukujula kweqhwa nezinga lokushisa lomoya.Ezinye eziyisikhombisa azicacisi kangako, zithatha izinhlobo ezimbalwa zokulinganisa.
Umswakama womhlabathi uphazamisa ukusebenza kahle kokugeleza kokuthi amanzi angena emhlabathini lapho kudingeka khona ngaphambi kokuba adlulele emifudlaneni nasezindaweni zokulondoloza amanzi.
Ingxenye yeziteshi zezwe ezigcwele ze-SNOTEL zinezinzwa zomswakama womhlabathi noma ama-probe, alandelela izinga lokushisa namaphesenti wokugcwala endaweni ekujuleni okumbalwa.
Idatha "isisiza ukuthi siqonde kahle kakhulu futhi silawule umthombo wamanzi" futhi yazise "irekhodi ledatha elibalulekile esithemba ukuthi libaluleke kakhulu njengoba siqoqa idatha eyengeziwe," kusho uDanny Tappa, umqondisi wenhlolovo yeqhwa ye-NRCS Idaho eBoise.
Ukuhlomisa zonke izingosi ze-SNOTEL esifundazweni ukuze kulinganiswe umswakama womhlabathi kuyinto ehamba phambili yesikhathi eside, esho.
Isikhathi sephrojekthi sincike emalini, kusho uTappa.Ukufaka iziteshi ezintsha noma izinzwa, ukuthuthukisa izinhlelo zokuxhumana zibe ubuchwepheshe beselula nesathelayithi, kanye nokugcinwa okuvamile kube yizidingo ezicindezelayo kamuva nje.
"Siyaqaphela ukuthi umswakama womhlabathi uyingxenye ebalulekile yesabelomali samanzi, futhi ekugcineni ugeleza," esho.
"Siyazi ukuthi kunezindawo ezithile lapho ukuxhumana komswakama womhlabathi nokugeleza kokugeleza kubalulekile," kusho uTappa.
Uhlelo lwe-Idaho lwe-SNOTEL luzohlomula uma zonke iziteshi zifakwe amathuluzi omswakama womhlabathi, kusho u-Shawn Nield, usosayensi wezwe we-NRCS.Ngokufanelekile, izisebenzi zokuhlola iqhwa zizoba nososayensi ozinikele wenhlabathi obhekele uhlelo kanye nerekhodi layo ledatha.
Ukunemba kwesibikezelo se-Streamflow kuthuthukiswe cishe ngo-8% lapho kwasetshenziswa khona izinzwa zomswakama womhlabathi, esho, ecaphuna ucwaningo olwenziwa yi-hydrologists kanye nabasebenzi basenyuvesi e-Utah, Idaho nase-Oregon.
Ukwazi ukuthi umhlabathi weneliswa kangakanani kuhlomulisa abalimi nabanye, u-Nield uthe “Ngokuvamile, sizwa ngabalimi besebenzisa izinzwa zokuswakama kwenhlabathi ukuze kulawulwe kahle amanzi okunisela,” esho.Izinzuzo ezilindelekile zisukela ekuqhubeni amaphampu kancane - ngaleyo ndlela kusetshenziswa ugesi namanzi amancane - ukufanisa umthamo nezidingo eziqondene nezitshalo ezithile, kanye nokunciphisa ingozi yokuthi impahla yasemapulazini ibambeke odakeni.
