No spring high water can be expected from any of the streams, and the summer flow will vary from 25 to 50 per cent of that in 1953 on most of the watersheds of the state. The Bearer % ver and the Chalk Creek area have slightly better prospects0 It must be remembered that these comments on water supply prospects for 1954 are for the most part based on relatively short records and8 consequently, will have to be modified as the melting season advances, if ebnormal conditions with respect to precipitation and temperature occuro GEORGS D » CLYDE Irrigation Engineer Utah State Agricultural Experiment Station In charge of Water 6onservation0 |
