| Additional Information |
"The Utah Power and Light Company secured water rights to Bear Lake water in 1912 and began construction of canals linking Bear River and Bear Lake from 1914-1917. These canals and the Lifton pumping station allowed the Utah Power and Light Company to use the top 20 ft of Bear Lake water for electrical generation and irrigation. The Bear River Compact, a collaborative effort by the states of Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming, provides for the distribution of water on the Bear River."--from Bear Lake Basin: history, geology, biology, people (2007), page vii. |
