Scope and Content

This series contains various basin studies prepared by or for the State Planning Board for the Colorado River Basin, the Great Basin, and the Snake River Basin in Utah. The purpose of these reports was to determine the principal water problems in the drainage basins in Utah, to outline a plan of water development and control designed to solve those problems, and to present specific construction projects and investigation projects as elements of the plan, with general priorities of importance and time. The areas under study include the Uintah Basin, Price and San Rafael River areas, Colorado and San Juan River areas, Fremont and Escalante River areas, Virgin River system, Bear River, Weber River, Davis County and Jordan River areas, Utah Lake, Sevier and South Sevier areas, and Western Utah drainage areas. The types of studies include: compilations of data pertaining to the use of land and water; drainage basin problems and programs; envelope records; indexes of river measurementstations; irrigated lands, run-off, precipitation data, and area by elevations by river drainage basins; State Engineer river drainage reports; National Resources Committee drainage basin study; and a preliminary report on flood status of streams in Great Basin. Many of these reports also include maps of the areas.
