Seepage study of the Timpanogos, Wasatch, Sagebrush and Spring Creek, Upper Charleston, and Lower Charleston Canals, Wasatch County, Utah.

A seepage study was made during 1989 on selected reaches of the Timpanogos, Wasatch, Sagebrush and Spring Creek, Upper Charleston, and Lower Charleston Canals in Wasatch County, Utah, to determine gains or losses in discharge. Fluctuations in discharge were adjusted using information from water-stage recorders operated at selected locations during each set· of measurements. The investigation showed a net loss of about 14.9 cubic feet per second in the Timpanogos Canal: the upstream reach gained about 2.0 cubic feet per second, the two middle reaches together lost about 14.1 cubic feet per second, and the downstream reach lost about 2.8 cubic feet per second. The Wasatch Canal showed a net loss of about 8.2 cubic feet per second: the upstream reach lost about 3.7 cubic feet per second, the middle reach showed no gain or loss, and the downstream reach lost about 4.5 cubic feet per second. The Sagebrush and Spring Creek Canal showed a net loss of about 0.5 cubic foot per second: the upstream reach gained about 0.6 cubic foot per second, the middle reach showed no gain or loss, and the downstream reach lost about 1.1 cubic feet per second. The Upper Charleston Canal showed a net gain of about 4.0 cubic feet per second: the upstream reach gained about 5.0 cubic feet per second, and the down-stream reach lost about 1.0 cubic foot per second. The Lower Charleston Canal showed a net gain of about 1.8 cubic feet per second: the upstream reach gained about 2.2 cubic feet per second, and the downstream reach lost about 0.4 cubic foot per second.

Seepage study of the Bear River including Cutler Reservoir in Cache Valley, Utah and Idaho

A study was made during 1990 on selected reaches of the Bear River including Cutler Reservoir in Cache Valley, Utah and Idaho, to detem1ine gains or losses of flow from seepage in those reaches. The study showed a net gain of 23.5 cubic feet per second in the Riverdale, Idaho, to Smithfield, Utah, section of the Bear River. The upstream reach of this section of the river had a gain of 13.7 cubic feet per second, the middle reach had a gain of 2.1 cubic feet per second, and the downstream reach had a gain of 7.7 cubic feet per second. The Cutler Reservoir section of the Bear River (Smithfield to Wheelan, Utah) had a net gain of 79.0 cubic feet per second.

Ground-water conditions in Utah, spring of 1992

This is the twenty-ninth in a series of annual reports that describe ground-water conditions in Utah. Reports in this series, published cooperatively by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Utah Division of Water Resources, provide data to enable interested parties to keep abreast of changing ground-water conditions. This report, like the others in the series, contains information on well construction, ground-water withdrawal from wells, water-level changes, related changes in precipitation and streamflow, and chemical quality of water. Supplementary data, such as maps showing water-level contours, are included in reports of this series only for those years or areas for which applicable data are available and are important to a discussion of changing ground-water conditions. This report includes individual discussions of selected major areas of ground-water development in the State for the calendar year 1991. Water-level fluctuations and selected related data, however, are described from the spring of 1987 to the spring of 1992. Most of the data used in this report were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Division of Water Rights and Division of Water Resources, Utah Department of Natural Resources.

Ground-water conditions in Utah, spring of 1991

This is the twenty-eighth in a series of annual reports that describe ground-water conditions in Utah. Reports in this series, published cooperatively by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Utah Division of Water Resources, provide data to enable interested parties to keep abreast of changing ground-water conditions. This report, like the others in the series, contains information on well construction, ground-water withdrawal from wells, water-level changes, related changes in precipitation and streamflow, and chemical quality of water.

This report includes individual discussions of selected major areas of ground-water development in the State for the calendar year 1990. Water-level fluctuations and selected related data, however, are described from the spring of 1986 to the spring of 1991. Much of the data used in this report were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Division of Water Rights, Utah Department of Natural Resources.

Ground-water conditions in Utah, spring of 1989

This is the twenty-sixth in a series of annual reports that describe ground-water conditions in Utah. Reports in this series, published cooperatively by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Utah Division of Water Resources, provide data to enable interested parties to keep abreast of changing ground-water conditions. This report, like the others in the series, contains information on well construction, ground-water withdrawal from wells, water-level changes, and related changes in precipitation and streamflow. Supplementary data such as graphs showing chemical quality of water and maps showing water-level contours are included in reports of this series only for those years or areas for which applicable data are available and are important to a discussion of changing ground-water conditions. This report includes individual discussions of selected major areas of ground-water development in the State for the calendar year 1988. Water-level fluctuations, however, are described from the spring of 1988 to the spring of 1989. Much of the data used in this report were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Division of Water Rights, Utah Department of Natural Resources.
