| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; inf inflows lows figure 2a aa 2 shows the approximate location of the individual inflows and inflow groups used in WHAB studies table 2a aa 5 gives results from the 50 year water balance studies for utah lake water years 19301979 1930 1979 tributaries Tributa ries are also identified as either contributing less than 2000 afyr adyr or greater than 2000 adyr afyr to the lake in summary WHAB and USBR studies resulted in the mean water balance given in table 2a aa 6 the larger values found in the WHAB studies are partly attributable to the inclusion of the wet 19741979 1974 1979 period but mainly to the larger evaporation and groundwater inflow values resulting from the WHAB studies even then however the total inflow values only differ by six percent which is good agreement for relatively independent studies on a hydrologic hydro logic system as complex as utah lake one groundwater inflow of major interest is in goshen bay USBR studies have generally stated these inflows to be negligible WHAB investigations resulted in assigning about 38700 afyr adyr of total inflow to goshen bay about 33000 afyr adyr is groundwater inflow of which about 18000 afyr adyr is surface and wash seepage the remaining 15000 afyr adyr is assigned to largely diffuse inflow from the underlying groundwater both fresh and mineral WATER QUALITY very little water quality data are available prior to 1960 for utah lake and its tributaries tributa ries considerable data were collected in the early 1960s by the USBR and in the early 1970s by researchers at brigham young university extensive water quality data were collected in 1978 1979 and 1980 as part of this study tables 2a aa 7 2a aa 7b ab and aa 2a 2a2 8 give arithmetic averages for selected quality parameters for the combined data which are mainly from 19701980 1970 1980 period underlined values in these tables exceed the state water quality standards for the present water classes as shown in table 2a aa 9 table 2a aa 10 lists the numerical values by water quality class 2 9 |
