| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; 8 drains approximately 30200 acres of full and supplemental service lands in the bonneville unit presently have or would have deficiencies in subsurface drainage requiring correction with unit development with the application of unit water drainage distress would become more acute on present drainage deficient areas in selecting lands to receive unit water and unit drains those which have excessive salt content would be excluded total dissolved solids TDS in drainage waters should be kept at a minimum this does not eliminate the fact that drainage waters would generally contain higher concentrations of salt nitrates and phosphates etc the total increase in salts ente entering rinc rinz utah lake and the terminus the great salt lake cannot be determined until drainage requirements develop the same situation would apply to the increase in salts eat entering ering the colorado river this has been estimated at 10 mgt mg1 mgl at hoover dam as a result of the entire unit of which drainage would be but a part drainage probie problems ns of varying degrees would develop in those areas undergoing irrigation development these problem areas are located on the lower lying lands of valley floors these areas are spanish fork area mona nephi area elberta mosida monida area and the duchesne river area determinations of exact locations and design of drainage systems would not be possible until the irrigation systems were in operation and problem areas became apparent a provo bay area it is estimated that with provo bay development more water would be returned to provo bay than is returned under the present operation it is expected that the chemical quality of water pumped from the bay under unit operation would be similar to or better than that now leaving the bay under natural conditions the water now flowing into utah lake from provo bay averages about 550 mg1 mgl ngi mgt of total dissolved solids peripheral inflow to the bay is of better quality than this averaging about 300 mg1 mgl mgt of total dissolved solids the higher concentration of salt in the water 272 |
