| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; SYNOPSIS pumped from utah lake and would consist of water saved frcm fram evaporation in the bay area and increased return flows reaching the lake from project lands drainage water would be pumped from the bay area to utah lake plans are reported for a new state highway alignment across provo bay in the vicinity of the potential dike plans for the two structures could be correlated resulting in a substantial saving in cost and other advantages the diking of goshen bay of utah lake authorized as a part of the provo river project but not yet undertaken would become a part of the central utah project the dike 22 feet high and 55 miles long would permit the south 26000 acres of utah lake to be drained and wouldthereby would thereby reduce the average annual evaporation by 60000 acre feet the water thus saved could be used for irrigation either in cedar tooele thoele or west jordan valley A 7 mile mlle section of the jordan river channel between utah lake and jordan narrows would be enlarged the channel improvement also was authorized as a part of the provo river project improvement of the river channel from jordan narrows to great salt lake is being investigated by the corps of engineers as a flood control project in order to replace water now used in the uinta basin that would be exported and to provide additional water for further development within this basin water would be diverted from the flaming gorge reservoir that would be constructed on the green river as a feature of the colorado river storage project the water would be conveyed from the reservoir through the flaming gorge aqueduct a structure 120 miles long including an 18 mile tunnel through the uinta mountains under an alternative plan of development green river water could be supplied to the uinta basin from echo park reservoir another potential feature of the colorado river storage project if the echo park reservoir were used as the uinta basin source of supply the flaming gorge aqueduct would be eliminated and the water would be distributed by an aqueduct generally parallel to but 160 igo feet lower than the flaming gorge aqueduct central utah project water from the echo park reservoir would be pumped an average lift of 170 10 feet green river water would be supplemented in the uinta basin by some water released from the strawberry aqueduct and water developing below the strawberry aqueduct supplies from the three sources would be coordinated for most efficient use and regulated in existing reservoirs including the moon lake and midview reservoirs of the moon lake project and in several reservoirs that would be constructed under the project including the tyzack stanaker maeser halfway hollow hancock altonah alzonah Al tonah upalco starvation and hanna 6 |
