Show The Strawberry Aqueduct would be at the same location and have the same capacity as- in the proposed plan. Since Soldier Creek Dam has already been constructed, the capacity of the enlarged Strawberry Reservoir ( 1,106,000 acre- feet) would remain the same, but this capacity would not be fully utilized under this alternative. The water in Strawberry Reservoir would be divided between two delivery systems: the Round Valley- Provo River System and the Diamond Fork- Utah Lake System. About 99,000 acre- feet would be released on a municipal demand pattern from the enlarged Strawberry Reservoir to the Wasatch Front through Wallsburg Tunnel to Main Creek of Round Valley. Flows from the tunnel would be discharged into the natural channel of Main Creek for conveyance to Deer Creek Reservoir. From Deer Creek Reservoir the water would be released into Provo River for conveyance in the natural channel of Provo River to Murdock Diversion Dam. Part of the water would then be conveyed by the Provo Reservoir Canal to Point- of- the- Mountain and through Jordan Aqueduct to points of use. About 70,000 acre- feet annually would be conveyed to Salt Lake County. The conveyance losses would amount to 9> 000 acre- feet annually. The remaining 20,000 acre- feet would be available for municipal and industrial uses in north Utah County. The remaining 37,600- acre- foot yield of Strawberry Reservoir would be released through the existing Sixth Water Tunnel and conveyed down the natural channels of Diamond Fork and the Spanish Fork River to the diversion dam of the Highline Canal. Conveyance losses would amount to about 900 acre- feet. About 31,000 acre- feet would be diverted into the Highline Canal, of which 23,500 acre- feet would be used for supplemental service of irrigated lands in south Utah County and 7,500 acrerfeet would be used for municipal and industrial purposes in south Utah County. The remaining 5,700 acre- feet in the Spanish Fork River would be conveyed to Utah Lake, where it would be pumped to about 1,570 acres of full- service lands in the Mosida area. The total amount of Bonneville Unit water made available by this alternative would be 97,500 acre- feet for municipal and industrial use and 29,200 acre- feet for irrigation. The map presented in Figure H- 12 shows the details of this alternative. 561 |
