Show Final Report Hydrologic Model Analysis of the Provo River Basin Table 1- 1 Provo River/ Utah Lake Special Studies and Relationship to Hydrologic Model Analysis of the Provo River Basin Name of Study Purpose Relationship to this Study Wasatch County Water Efficiency Project ( WCWEP) Evaluate and implement irrigation efficiency improvements and acquire Strawberry Basin water rights which will increase instream flows Uses PROSIM in evaluating environmental impacts on water and other resources Utah Lake Salinity Control Studies ( ULSCS) Reduce impacts of CUP upon Utah Lake salinity levels This Hydrologic Model Analysis uses certain Utah Lake data developed by ULSCS. Strawberry- Provo Conveyance Studies ( SPCS) Evaluate feasibility of direct delivery of Colorado Basin water to the Provo River Basin; analyze hydrology of Provo River. This Hydrologic Model Analysis was started within the SPCS, but then evolved into a separate study effort using a different period of record due to availability of data. Increased Project Water Studies Acquire water rights to augment instream flows on the Lower Provo River These studies may use PROSIM in evaluating alternatives, environmental impacts and instream flow benefits Provo River Excess Flow Study Reduce or mitigate the impacts of Provo River high flows on fisheries and recreation This study may use PROSIM in evaluating alternatives, impacts, and benefits Provo River Diversion Dams Evaluate measures to retain increased instream flows within the Provo River channel below Olmsted This study may use PROSIM in evaluating alternatives, impacts, and benefits January 1998 Page 8 |
