Relation Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; flowrate Flo wrate changes provo prove river flows were changed to the values established in upstream operations studies by the USBR USER mentioned in chapter 1 additional releases from str strawberry awberry alberry reservoir UT 30 were set at values established by the USBR USER for the various dike locations sewage treatment plant flowrate flowrates flo fio wrate wrates s were increased according to expected population increases in goshen bay all bay inflows were left flowing to the bay except tributary 61 3340 afyr adyr which was diverted to the main lake since this flow is thought to be north of the likely location of the west terminus of the dikes and hence flow into the main lake in each run jordan river flows includes all surface outflows were adjusted so as to keep the lake as full as possible without exceeding compromise elevation of 4489.34 448934 feet and yet minimize spillage to the diked biked goshen bay area this may have resulted in some unrealistically large outflows in a few spring runoff months but is not seen as of any significance in the longterm long term averages minimum monthly flows in the jordan river with the CUP developments have been established by the USBR flows were not reduced below those minimum values source of USBR flow estimates inflow and outflow volumes were established by USBR personnel as an outcome of earlier water balance studies on utah lake they determined the estimated evaporation reduction as a result of diking and then modified flows in the provo river and spanish fork river so as to maintain downstream water rights and new project supplies from the lake under the constraints of operations simulations for other CUP projects upstream WHAB simulations of future conditions used these USBR flows for the few tributaries tributa ries affected but as stated above maintained evaporation rates and precipitation rates and most tributary flows at the values established in independent simulations the net result is an additional check on earlier USBR utah lake water balances 34 3 4
