Water use and planned supply in Utah irrigation areas
Utah irrigation draws 2,875,400 acre-feet yearly with 800 percent of this in the Bonneville Basin and about half in the Central Utah project area. A 647,200 acre-feet annual shortfall persists, concentrated in Central Utah and the Virgin area, with smaller relative shortages elsewhere. Proposals to add 2,163,900 acre-feet aim to supplement total developments, largely from the Upper Colorado River system, with two-thirds allocated to the Bear river and Central Utah regions.
