| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; occurring flood water flows b residual flows and return I 1 flows occurring low on the river systems c salvage of water by control of evaporation and phreatophytes and d use of utahs remaining colorado river entitlement a development of irregularly occurring flood flows to develop each succeeding block or portion of these erratic flows into a firm supply would require an ever increasing amount of storage capacity for example the USGS estimates that the usable yield of the jordan valley frontal streams could be increased by 23000 acre feet by construction of 116000 acre feet of new storage capacity on these streams 32 the US corps of engineers has proposed the little dell project which would require a 30000 acre foot reservoir on dell creek a tributary to parleys creek to develop about 8400 acre feet of high quality water 110 178 llo lio the main problem would be finding a reservoir site of adequate size that would be economically and environmentally acceptable in addition as the carryover time increases between the occurrence of peak flood flows and the use of stored water during extreme drought periods much of the supply would be lost by evaporation and a point of diminishing return would soon be reached b development of residual streamflows Stream flows development of residual flows low in the jordan river system also would present the problem of locating economically justifiable and environmentally acceptable storage sites development of these flows would also have an additional problem of water quality salt lake county is presently investigating two multipurpose reservoirs on the jordan river additional low quality supplies could be developed at these sites for heavy industrial use treatment would be required prior to other uses the quality and quantity of water available to water fowl and wildlife habitat around great salt lake would be diminished as consumptive use was increased the residual supply to great salt lake would be less and the level of the lake would gradually lower and the shoreline recede c salvage of water by control of evaporation phreatophytes evaporation loss from water bodies could be decreased by reducing the surface area of the impoundment and by the 183 |
