This table shows the average snowfall, in inches, for the state by seasons. One inch of snow will melt to about one-tenth of an inch of water.
EVAPORATION The following table shows the monthly evaporation from a free water surface measured in inches, at Lincoln and North Platte for the months free of ice and snow. This indicates the amount of water that would evaporate from reservoirs, lakes and ponds. The evaporation has been measured accurately only during these months, but has been approximated for the other months. The annual evaporation from a free water surface is probably between 50 and 60 inches in most of the states. It is, of course, more in the western than in the eastern section. This means that the evaporation from a free water surface is nearly twice the rainfall in the eastern and about four times the rainfall in the western part, of the state:
