Show nine pumping plants, about 13 miles of dikes, and 157 miles of pipe drains. Evaporation losses from Utah Lake would be reduced by diking Provo and Goshen Bays. About 313,000 acre- feet of water would be made available annually by the Bonneville Unit for the following purposes: Acre- feet High quality municipal and industrial 99,000 Supplemental and full- service irrigation ( at point of diversion) 207,500 Streamflows for fishery 6,500 Total 313,000 Of the total above, 164,500 acre- feet would be developed in the Uinta Basin by the Strawberry Aqueduct and Collection System, including the enlarged Strawberry Reservoir, and the Starvation Reservoir Complex. The balance of the supply ( 148,500 acre- feet) would be developed in the Bonneville Basin through the diking of Utah Lake and the resulting savings in evaporation and through the capture and reuse of return flows and floodwater in other potential Bonneville Unit reservoirs. Of the 164,500 acre- feet of water developed in the Uinta Basin, an average of 21,400 acre- feet per year would be used within that basin for irrigation, and 6,500 acre- feet would be released to maintain minimum fishery flows in Rock Creek and the Strawberry Rivero The balance of 136,600 acre- feet would be diverted via the Diamond Fork Power System to the Bonneville Basin. An average of 9,600 acre- feet would be released into Utah Lake to supplement Bonneville Unit supplies in the lake; 9,000 acre- feet would be delivered for municipal and industrial use in southern Utah County and Juab County; and the remaining 118,000 acre- feet are scheduled for supplemental and new irrigation in southern Utah Valley, Juab Valley, and the Sevier River Basin. About 105,000 acre- feet of the Bonneville Unit water developed in the Bonneville Basin would be realized through reduced evaporation on the diked Utah Lake and reduced evapotranspiration in the Provo and Goshen Bay areas. About 76,000 acre- feet of this amount is attributable to Goshen Bay, and the balance of 29,000 acre- feet would come from Provo Bay. Under the proposed plan of agricultural development of the bay, about 22,000 acre- feet of the 29,000 would be consumptively used for this purpose. Bureau of Reclamation water supply studies show that the remainder of the Bonneville Basin supply would come through the capture and reuse of Bonneville Unit return flows in Utah Lake and in Mona and Sevier Bridge Reservoirs. 12 |
