Primary Water On Upper Sevier May Be Stored Judge Lewis Jones of First Ju dicial District recently made the final ruling subject to an appeal to Supreme Court that the upper water users of the Sevier River, (Garfield and Piute counties) may store their primary and winter irrigation ir-rigation water Judge Jones' made it clear that he was not intending to deprive any lower user of water, but contended con-tended that excess use on the upper up-per areas was contributing to water wa-ter logging of large areas with excess ex-cess use by water-loving plants and large evaporation losses. So long as the upper river users keep the stream flow at Kingston the same as it has been on comparable compar-able previous years, storage and use on new lands may be practiced. practic-ed.
