central utah project and is the most significant al water resource development to date in utah it is located in the central portion of the state and includes developments in both the uinta and bonneville basins with a substantial diversion of water from the uinta basin to the bonneville basin useable water supplies will be increased in the two basins by means of regulatory storage works and conveyance facilities included in these facilities will be 10 new reservoirs and the enlargement of two existing reservoirs 2 major dikes on utah lake more than 114400mmiilleess of aqueducts tunnels and canals 3 power plants and several ppuummppininggppllaannttss 1 about 313000 acre feet of water will be developed annually for municipal and industrial purposes irrigation hhyyddroroellecttrriic
