Question
When we experience heavy precipitation in
the East Cascades (think
Bend/Sunriver/Sisters) it has little impact on
river flows. Heavy precipitation events in
the West Cascades and in the Willamette
Valley often result in increased river flows
and flooding.
In a drawing/sketch or series of sketches
explain this phenomenon. What
implications does this have for how we
manage our water resources?
