The sensor provides information on snow accumulation and melting in the surrounding mountain ranges, which include the San Francisco Peaks and the Mogollon Rim. The snowmelt feeds into the Little Colorado River and the Verde River, which in turn supply water to several reservoirs, including Lake Powell and Roosevelt Lake. The snowpack can also affect the groundwater recharge in the area, which is important for sustaining the local ecosystems and agricultural activities. The information provided by the sensor is used by several hydrologic partners, such as the Arizona Department of Water Resources and the US Geological Survey, to manage the water resources in the region.
