Efficient Water Use Cuts Drainage in Utah Farmlands
County agriculture agent Clair Ry Acord explains that seepage from reservoirs and canals and deep percolation from irrigated lands drive drainage needs in Utah and the West. Higher irrigation reduces the drainage burden on lower lands. flooding from rivers and channels and low valley runoff are major excess water sources. In Utah areas, lowering the water table is possible by controlling excess flows, as nearly 40 percent of canal water is lost in conveyance, equating to millions of acre feet.

Storage advice for farm fertilizers from county agent guidance
A county agriculture agent warns farmers to stockpile commercial fertilizers early to avoid shortages. Best practices include dry storage on a solid floor, small stack sizes to prevent caking, separate damaged bags, and avoiding ammonium nitrate near flames or wiring. Sodium nitrate should be handled carefully to prevent water table impact and canal lining is proposed to reduce losses.
