Local units of government, serving as project sponsors, assume operation and maintenance responsibility for the dams after they are built. While the dams provide multiple benefits such as sediment reduction, recreation, wildlife habitat, and sources for irrigation, they are primarily designed for flood protection of private land and property in the watershed. "With drought fresh on our minds, the temptation is to allow these reservoirs to fill up," said Campbell. "However, the most prudent action may be to gradually lower the water level following a flooding event, allowing opportunity for future emergency watershed protection." With increased snow packs, an early warming trend could result in other flooding events across the state. NRCS, which manages a network of Snotel monitoring stations, said all of the basins in the state have much above average snow water equivalent ranging from 137 percent of normal on the Price-San Rafael drainage to 322 percent of normal on the Virgin River. The flooding, mainly driven by precipitation in southwestern Utah, is indicative of the saturated state of the soil and record rainfall. The high elevation snow pack is still on the mountains with great er-t ha never measurements lor this time of year-which portends of heavy runoff when snowmelt commences in the spring. Less than half way into our snow season. the snow pack on the Virgin and Escalante River is already in excess of the normal peak for the year. ; The Natural Resources Conservation Service provides leadership a,nd technical assistance in a partnership effort to help people conserve, maintain. and improve natural resources and the environment o;i private workiim lands. business@ p a r k r e c o r d . c o m CHECK OUT OUR NEW WINE CELLAR Over 500 wine selections for every taste and budget Originally o ski bum, Experienced and Reliable Urge Selection of ReadyMade Framei KAMAS MEADOWS - 1 4 1 ACRES - $2,895,000 •y^:iO88 Water Shares Included Eisy Parking Beautiful property!
