Show RECORD AMOUNT WATER NOW IN BEAR LAKE The waters of Bear lake, northern north-ern Utah's blue jewel and one of the most important storage reservoirs reser-voirs in the state today, are nineteen nine-teen and one-fourth feet higher than in 1935, the dryest year on record in northern Utah. The lake waters are nearly two feet higher this year than last; however, the lake is still two and one-third feet under full capacity. Full capacity is determined when the lake waters wa-ters rise to an elevation of 5923.65 feet above sea level, at which point they flow into Bear River by gravity. Bear River is the lake's natural outlet. Present records rec-ords reveal that only in 1916, 1917, 1921, 1922 and 1923 did the waters wa-ters rise to full capacity of the lake. |
