Background and Description of Central Utah Project The Central Utah Project (CUP) was authorized by the Colorado River Storage Act of 1956. The project is being constructed by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) and will be operated by the Central Utah Water Conservancy District. The CUP consists of six units. Five of the units are in the Uinta Basin of the Colorado River drainage and the sixth unit, the Bonneville Unit includes parts of the Colorado River Basin and the Great Basin. The Bonneville Unit is in central and eastern Utah. The Unit encompasses about 32,000 square miles and includes parts or all of the drainages of the Spanish Fork, Duchesne, Strawberry, Sevier, and Provo Rivers. Most of the water in the Bonneville Unit will be developed in the Uinta Basin of the Colorado River drainage basin and diverted to the Great Basin, with the goal of putting some of Utah's undeveloped water rights in the Colorado River Basin to beneficial use. The Municipal and Industrial System is the largest and most complex part of the five major water collection and delivery systems in the Bonneville Unit of the CUP. The Municipal and Industrial System will provide municipal and industrial water to Salt Lake, Utah, and Wasatch Counties and some water for irrigation in Wasatch and Summit Counties. Water for the Municipal and Industrial System will be stored in Jordanelle Reservoir. Column 7~Weber River water diverted to the Provo River under Application No. 12141. This water diverted to the Provo River for storage in Utah Lake when there is little or no capacity available in Deer Creek Reservoir. Diversions under this application were limited to the amount that would allow 30,000 acre-feet to be recovered from Utah Lake the following year after making reductions for conveyance and evaporation losses. [Delivered to Utah Lake in column 31.] Column 8-Total water diverted from the Weber River, sum of Columns 6 and 7. [Column 8 flow does not include water diverted as shown in columns 9 and 16 of the Weber River Divertible Flow Study, that water is non-project water used in the Provo River drainage concurrently with its diversion from the Weber River.] Column 9 Weber River divertible flows in excess of Provo River Project diversions, Column 1 minus Column 8. Column 10-Duchesne River flows in excess of prior downstream rights, divertible to the Provo River Project under Application No. 12230. The maximum rate of diversion is 575 secondfeet limited to 49,500 acre-feet per year. Data determined in the Duchesne River divertible flow study. Column ll-Duchesne River flows diverted to the Provo River under Application No., 12230. Duchesne River flow is third in priority to be diverted to the Provo River. Column 12-Duchesne River divertible flows in excess of the amount diverted, Column 10 minus Column 11. Column 13-Total Weber River and Duchesne River diversion to the Provo River for storage in Deer Creek Reservoir, columns 6 and 11. Column 14-Weber River and Duchesne River imported for storage in Deer Creek Reservoir that reaches the r...
was an urban-runoff study done in cooperation with the Salt Lake County Division of Flood Control and Water Quality. The objectives of the urban-runoff study were to identify the impact of urban runoff on the quantity and quality of the water in the canals east of the Jordan River and on the major tributaries to the river.The second investigation, which was carried out from December 1979 to September 1983, is a study of water-quality problems in the Jordan River. The study was done primarily to provide information about toxic substances, dissolved-oxygen depletion, sanitary quality, and turbidity and suspended sediment in the Jordan River. It also was funded in part by the Salt Lake County Division of Flood Control and Water Quality.Several Salt Lake County employees assisted in the collection of waterquality samples from storm runoff. Of those employees, Lee R. Armstrong, Gilbert H. Heal, Steven J. Mitckes, and Ben Santistevan worked on a daily basis with the authors and made a significant contribution in the collection of the data contained in this report. Organizations that furnished data are acknowledged in the station descriptions in tables 1 and 4.Information for previously published water-discharge, water-quality, atmospheric-deposition, and precipitation data for Salt Lake County are reported by Pyper and others (1981); Dustin (1977); Hely and others (1971) and references that they cited; and Feth and others (1964). Additional waterdischarge and water-quality data, published annually by the U.S. Geological Survey, and climatologic data, published monthly by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, are available for Salt Lake County. (See for example, U.S. Geological Survey, 1982 and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 1982.) DATA-SITE NUMBERING SYSTEMS Climatologic stations listed in this report ha preceded by the letter "P." The sites are identified 1, 2, and 3 by precipitation symbol and site number, atmospheric-deposition collectors operated at the same number.All but five surface-water stations listed in this report have been assigned eight-digit numbers according to the U nationwide system of numbering streamflow stations, by major river basin and in downstream order. Thus, same e been assigned numbers on plate 1 and in tables Precipitation gages and site are assigned the S. Geological Survey'sThe numbers are assigned the first two digits of each eight-digit station number indicate the major river basin in which the station is located and the last six digits indicate 1 the relative downstream order of that station in the basin.The other five surface-water stations have been assigned 15-digit numbers based on the grid system of latitude and longitude. The system provides the geographic location and a unique number for the site. The 15-digit number consists of the first 6 digits denoting the degrees, minutes, and seconds north latitude, the next 7 digits denoting degrees, jninutes, and seconds west longitude, and the last 2 digits are a sequential r^umber within a 1-second...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
