Relation Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; than at the upper end say 6000 mg1 mgt TDS IDS the inflow volume would have to triple to produce the needed salts although this situation would increase the total inflow to the lake by only about 30000 afyr adyr the ripple effect on other hydrologic component estimates is significant for example if the 30000 afyr adyr we were re all assigned to increased evaporation to maintain the water balance it would represent about a 10 increase in evaporation beginning salt concentrations in a simulation run have little effect on long term results since the water exchanges in the lake each 1 to 3 years and initial values are thus quickly corrected if initially in error the location of the goshen bay dikes as shown in figure 3a aa 1 has little effect on the salt concentrations in the main lake this is partially due to the fact that more strawberry reservoir water is released to make up for increased evaporation as the diked biked off area is decreased these low TDS waters compensate for the salt concentrating effect of the increased evaporation even if these strawberry reservoir releases were not increased the salt increase in the lake would be small less than 10 in going from the DPR dike to B dike which are the extremes lake circulation affects the salt distribution in the lake and without substantial monthly circulation provo bay would be considerably lower in salts due to its large freshwater inflow goshen bay would be much saltier due to its limited tributary inflow however high accuracy for the monthly intermixing coefficients which simulate circulation was not necessary nor of concern since 1 the water and salt balances were for the entire lake 2 salt distribution within the undiked lake was an item of only passing interest 3 in diked biked lake simulations the location and quality of inflows is the important factor in bay quality since of course no circulation with the main lake exists 3 17
