| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; 3 in the USBR study water quality correlations were not used as they were in the WHAB study to assist in adjusting inflow volumes and evaporation values in other words the WHAB study made extensive use of salt balances in refining the water balances lake stage lake elevations at the end of the month are given in table 2a aa 1 underlined values are those values which were modified slightly from the official record to correct apparent record errors identified during simulation studies this historical lake stage record is discussed in chapter 1 the record is also plotted on figure 2a aa 1 this plot shows the large fluctuations that have occurred occured over the 50 year period the significance of the fluctuations is emphasized by noting that the lake is nearly empty at elevation 4477 ft and severely floods shoreline farmlands and facilities when above elevation 4489 ft precipitation precipitation and evaporation are both very important components in utah lake water budgets because of the lakes large surface area and shallow depth which averages only 9.2 92 92 ft when the lake is at compromise elevation of 4489.34 448934 ft precipitation for the lake averages about 1.0 10 io lo ftyr fayr main lake values are given in table 2a aa 2 annual values for provo bay and goshen bay are about the same as for the main lake these values were developed by using the thies thiessen sen polygon averaging method based on the precipitation records around the lake mean precipitation values are 0.98 098 ftyr fayr 118 11.8 118 inyr inar for the main lake 1.07 107 fayr ftyr 129 12.9 129 inyr inar for provo bay and 0.99 099 ogg ftyr fayr ilg 11.9 119 inyr inar for goshen bay over the 19301979 1930 1979 period annual fluctuations are fairly large they range from a low of 0.51 051 ftyr fayr 61 gi 6.1 61 inyr inar in water year 1960 to a high of 1.42 142 fayr ftyr 171 17.1 171 inyr inar in 1941 for the main lake 22 2 2 |
