Surface Water Supply Index (SWSI)

A Surface Water Supply Index (SWSI) is a predictive indicator of the surface water available in a basin compared to historic supply. The SWSI is calculated by summing the two major sources of irrigation water supply; reservoir carryover and spring and summer streamflow runoff. These two sources are analyzed together when determining the total surface water supply available for the season.
