Cornwall, Warren. "A rosy outlook for area water supply; Unusually wet year | Winter snowstorms, cool March helped big snowpacks." Seattle Times 10 Apr. 2008: B1
Warren Cornwall is a staff reporter for the Seattle Times, working in the title of Environment Reporter. HE works with the Local News Desk in the Seattle Times. This article talks about the snowpack on Mt. Rainier, and how it affects the local rivers. This was good because it was local, so I was more sure of what exactly he talked about. The only problem was that it didn't give a lot of new information, but it confirmed several details, like how dams store water and release it again. This article helped me because it confirmed details about water storage, and gave me a few statistics, but they weren't really important enough to include in my essay.
