Underground Water In The Valleys Of Utah Lake And Jordan River Utah Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Underground Water in the Valleys of Utah Lake and Jordan River, Utah The valleys of Utah Lake and Jordan River are situated in north - central Utah, in the extreme eastern part of the Great Basin. The lofty Wasatch Range (pl. I), the western most Oi the Rocky Mountain system, limits the valleys on the east, and relatively low basin ranges - the Oquirrh, Lake, and East Tintic mountains - determine them on the west. The valleys trend north and south, and are almost separated by the low east-west Traverse Range, the Slopes of which constitute a dam for Utah Lake, which drains through Jordan River to Great Salt Lake. The area under consideration is the most populous and flourishing part of the State. Salt Lake City and Provo, the first and third cities in the State, and many other thriving settlements are there located. At' Bingham Junction and Murray a number of smelters treat the ores from near-by mines, but agriculture is the main industry. Water for irriga tion is supplied by mountain streams, and intensive farming is successfully. Pursued. The practice of irrigation was begun by the Mormon pioneers in 1847, and has been dis cussed in several publications; little attention, however, has been given to the under ground water resources, and, so far as the writer is aware, they have not before been described. The present paper outlines conditions Of occurrence of the subterranean waters and describes their development in the valleys of Utah Lake and Jordan River.

Excerpt from Seepage Water of Northern Utah Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith a paper entitled Seepage Waters of Northern Utah, by Samuel Fortier, professor of irrigation engineering at the Agricultural College at Logan, Utah. The facts herein presented are based upon field work carried on mainly during the summer of 1896, and have special value in illustrating conditions which prevail to a greater or less degree throughout all irrigated lands, especially within inclosed valleys or on long, narrow drainage systems. One of. The matters which most complicate and embarrass the adjudication of water rights and the strict enforcement of priorities of appropriation arises from the fact that a considerable volume of water available for irrigation during the critical season of the year, when the crops are maturing, comes from the. Seepage from lands higher upstream to which water has been applied earlier in the year. In some cases these lands have been irrigated in defiance of a strict construction of the law regarding the priority of right to use water, but it has been claimed that such use, instead of being a detriment to the lands below, has been a benefit, and, in 'fact, that there has been more water available in consequence of this use than could other wise be had. The determination of these matters requires careful measurement and study in each case, but the work of Professor For tier serves to indicate what may be expected under similar conditions and illustrates methods applicable to this examination. Very respectfully, F. H. Newell, Hydrographer in Charge. Hon. Charles D. Walcott, Director United States Geological Survey.
