| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; be developed from local sources by irrigation conversion and 7000 acre feet that could be obtained by modifying the operation of deer creek reservoir the 7000 acre feet would be replaced in utah lake by imports from strawberry reservoir the average withdrawal of about 1 110000 10000 acre feet per year utah division of water resources 1978 of ground water in north utah county in recent years has been approaching the practical limit since the estimated annual recharge is about 138000 acre feet bureau of reclamation 1973a and any additional large scale pumping on a longterm basis would probably cause severe interference with existing wells since ground water is tributary to utah lake additional large development might require replacement to present users of utah lake further utilization of surplus local streamflow stream flow in utah county is expected to yield only a negligible quantity of additional water supply the kinds of streamflow stream flow still considered surplus at the present stage of development are irregularly occurring flood flows and various residual flows both of which are very limited the flood flows and winter flows entering utah valley and not diverted for use contribute to the water supply of existing users of utah lake therefore only during those infrequently occurring years when utah lake spills is there any surplus or unused surface water in the system conversion of existing irrigation water could provide essentially all of the water supply for additional municipal and industrial use in utah county over the next 20 years As agricultural areas have been converted to urban or residential use the respective municipalities have acquired the irrigation right associated with those areas in order to provide the needed supply for new residents it is estimated that this conversion process will make available an additional supply of 25500 acre feet per year for north utah county before the year 2010 about 8800 acre feet of this amount is already available and can be used as soon as the new utah valley water purification plant is completed in 1979 the remaining increment of 16700 acre feet is an estimate of the additional conversion that will probably occur before the year 2010 in response to increasing needs figure B 5 illustrates the relationships between projected requirements and potential supplies in north utah county 2 salt lake county in salt lake county the additional annual supply of 94000 acre feet of high quality water estimated to become available from local sources and imports would consist of the following components B 31 |
