| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; correlation between lake stage and salt concentrations evaporation is a dominant component in utah lakes water balance since 58.7 587 357000 adyr afyr of the lakes inflowing flowing inblowing in water is evaporated the annual outflow down the jordan river is relatively constant except in very wet years when excess water is available during dry cycles evaporation and fairly constant outflow lower the lake with evaporation losses causing a large increase in dissolved salts during wet cycles large quantities of diluting freshwater flow into the lake and reduce concentrations of dissolved salts reasonably good correlations exists between conservative salt concentrations and lake stage as shown for TDS in figure 3a aa 4 particularly for the midrange stages for high or low lake stages the correlations are not as good for high stages the total volume of excess inflow and outflow becomes more dominant than simple dilution andor evaporation factors for low stages recent outflow history and the quality of the current inflow become dominant LKSIM simulations give a considerably better trace of quality than the correlations discussed above however stagequality stag equality correlations may be used as fair predictors of lake quality as a function of stage see appendix F in phase I 1 report 1919801 19 1980 for correlation plots for other salts mineral precipitation utah lake sediments consist of some 50 5020 5070 to 80 calcite cacal caco caccl 3 with an average of about 70 most of this calcite originates from the lake water via mineral precipitation simulation results showed that calcite precipitation in the main lake averaged 0.11 011 oli oii lbsft2yr ibsftyr for the 19301979 1930 1979 period this represents about 0.0018 00018 fayr ftyr 06 og 0.6 06 mmyr amyr brimhall and merritt 1981 estimated longterm long term sedimentation rates to be about 0.85 085 mmyr amyr and post settlement rates to be a little larger 3 18 |
