| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; represents an average reduction in winter flow of 30 to 60 percent in the 10 miles of stream between jordanelle Jor danelle and deer creek reservoirs in the early irrigation season spring the reach of the river above jordanelle Jor danelle reservoir would remain unchanged except for a small increase resulting from runoff previously stored in 15 high mountain reservoirs that under unit conditions would be stabilized the irrigation function of these reservoirs would be taken over by jordanelle Jor danelle reservoir at jordanelle Jor danelle reservoir the high runoff flows including imported import dd water from the duchesne and weber rivers along with some natural flow would be stored this impoundment of water would result in a reduction of the existing undesirable high peak flows between jordanelle Jor danelle reservoir and deer creek reservoir of 25 to 40 percent this reduction in flow would lessen the adverse impacts presently caused by excessive peak discharges during the late irrigation season the riverabove river rivE civer clver above rabove the washington south kamas canal would be essentially unchanged under unit conditions additional water would be diverted from the river at this point to supply lands in the francis franc is kamas area by exchange with dor Jor doZ jordanelle dozdanelle danelle reservoir As a consequence there would be about a 30 percent reduction in the flow in the 14 miles of stream immediately above the reservoir flows in the entire reach above jordanelle Jor danelle reservoir may at times be less than historically slow because of late summer demands which were ware vere sere previously satisfied with water from the high mountain reservoirs the river flows below the reservoir would be substantially higher than those occurring under pre unit conditions the increases would result from unit municipal industrial and irrigation releases prior right irrigation bypasses return flows krom from from the heber area and the guaranteed fishery release of 50 cfs cs the net result of the bonneville units impact on the upper provo river would be moderate reduction in summer fishery habitat above jordanelle Jor danelle reservoir and a substantial improvement in the situation below the reservoir reservoiro reservoirs reser voiro the unit operations would significantly reduce excessive spring flows and increase late summer flows that at present periodically approach complete dewatering watering de dewa teringo 328 |
