Snowpack is an accumulation of snow that compresses with time and melts seasonally, often at high elevation or high latitude. [1] [2] Snowpacks are an important water resource that feed streams and rivers as they melt, sometimes leading to flooding. Snowpacks provide water to down-slope communities for drinking and agriculture. [3]
