| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; the water from the front streams and provo river is high quality suitable for municipal and light industrial uses the utah lake and jordan river waters are of lower quality and are suitable only for irrigation and heavy industrial use due to the concentration cent ration of dissolved solids which exceeds 1000 mgt mg1 nge 93 150 during the water years 19668 196468 196 1964 68 the mean annual surface inflow to jordan valley was 63000 463000 acre feet and the outflow discharged to great salt lake was 32000 324000 acre feet total diversions from surface sources during this period were 455000 acre feet plus an additional 205000 acre feet diverted for wildlife use at the lower end of the valley thus it is evident that there is considerable use and reuse of irrigation return flows surface wastewater from the valley floor and groundwater entering the jordan river system all flows available within present municipal and industrial and irrigation demand patterns are presently utilized only the high runoff or flood flows winter flows and other wastewater wast evater is discharged to the great salt lake the contribution by the mountain front streams for the period from 1964 through 1968 was 149400 19 00 acre feet annually of this amount 5000 54000 acre feet are diverted for municipal and industrial use and 40000 oooo 0000 acre feet for irrigation irrigation rights on these streams are being exchanged for municipal and industrial use by replacement with utah lake water it is expected that this trend would continue until all of the usable water is so exchanged water is also available to salt lake county from the provo river system and is delivered by the salt lake aqueduct provo reservoir canal and by the utah lake distribution company canal in accordance with exchange agreements the metropolitan water district of salt lake city has a normal allocation of about 56800 acre feet of storage capacity in deer creek reservoir in a normal year more water is available than is used however in dry years deliveries in excess of supply are made from the carryover storage in order for a municipal supply to be firm it must be available during a series of dry years this requires storage capacity that can be filled during above normal runoff years and used during drought periods As the municipal demand increases the requirement for carryover storage must also increase if the supply is to remain firm and without shortage 174 |
