| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; CHAPTER 2 historical AND EXISTING HYDROLOGY WATER QUALITY AND AQUATIC BIOLOGY OF UTAH LAKE A HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY results of studies on many aspects of utah lake hydrology and water quality have been reported in earlier reports as part of the utah lake WHAB project this section contains a summary of the more significant findings one should refer to the earlier reports for more detailed information HYDROLOGY the 50 year period 19301979 1930 1979 was used as the base study period hydrologic data were obtained andor developed largely independent of earlier studies by the USBR USER which covered the 44 year period from 1929 to 1973 these USBR studies were the source of hydrologic hydro logic values given in chapter 1 of course much of the same source data were used historical precipitation records evaporation pan records USGS flow records for major tributaries tributa ries and the jordan river and lake stage records were common sources except that seven more years of data were added for the WHAB studies the main differences in WHAB hydrologic hydro logic investigations as compared to earlier USBR studies were as follows 1 in the USBR study all inflow excepting precipitation was lumped into one total calculated inflow component in the WHAB study inflow was delineated into individual surface inflows and groundwater inflows individual surface inflows consisted of every distinguishable surface inflow around the lake that flowed for more than a few weeks a year and had a total annual volume of more than a few acre feet groundwater inflow was grouped into several freshwater components and several mineral components 2 in the USBR study evaporation was calculated by applying a constant annual evaporation coefficient to the lehi pan record in the WHAB study evaporation was determined from an evaporation model morton 1979 which used meteorologic data as input 2 1 |
