| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; CHAPTER 111 III lil lii AFFECTED environment AND environmental consequences inactive storage inflow consisted of water from strawberry river and water diverted through three feeder canals indian creek trail hollow and currant creek the average annual inflow to the smaller reservoir from all sources for the 1930 through 1973 period was approximately 74500 acre feet the outlet for the reservoir was the strawberry tunnel which conveyed water from the reservoir through the divide to sixth water creek the stored water diverted into bonneville basin met irrigation demands of lands in south utah county historical releases from the reservoir to bonneville basin averaged 56700 acre feet annually A maximum reservoir drawdown occurred beginning in 1931 when the water surface elevation dropped nearly 12.5 125 feet to an active capacity of about 28000 acre feet and remained low through 1935 surface area of the reservoir at that capacity was approximately 3300 acres the minimum water surface elevation of the reservoir occurred in 1961 when the active content was 7600 acre feet in 1985 strawberry dam was breached and the present strawberry reservoir was created present inflow to the reservoir consists of all inflow to the smaller reservoir tributary inflow which occurs between the strawberry and soldier creek damsites Dam sites and water intercepted by the strawberry aqueduct from duchesne river tributaries tributa ries and conveyed to strawberry reservoir the aqueduct a nearly completed feature of the bonneville unit has been delivering water to the reservoir in small but increasing amounts since 1971 when completed this aqueduct will intercept the flows of nine streams along the south slope of the uinta mountains beginning at rock creek and extending about 37 miles to strawberry reservoir present releases from the reservoir include irrigation releases to the strawberry valley project through strawberry tunnel and fish releases from soldier creek dam to strawberry river of 26 cfs cs in the summer and 13 cfs cs in the winter diamond fork diamond diamo fork a tributary of the spanish fork river is the principal stream in the area of the proposed features of the system its major tributaries tributa ries are sixth water creek and the stream in cottonwood canyon first and second water creeks are tributaries tributa ries to cottonwood canyon third fourth and fifth water creeks are tributaries tributa ries to sixth water creek these streams originate in the bonneville basin high on the western slopes of the wasatch mountains just west of the divide between the colorado river basin and the great basin an estimated 90000 acre feet of water annually enters the spanish fork river from diamond fork this includes about 56700 acre feet which is released from strawberry reservoir through the strawberry tunnel to sixth water creek thus about 41 |
