Supplement Director Peterson Makes Water Survey In Utah LOGAN "Water coming from and pump wells in the state of Utah amounts at present to nearly 150,000 acre feet annually" said Director William Peterson of the Utah State Agricultural college extension service upon his mum from making a detailed study of in underground water resources some areas of the state. "This Is enough water to irrigate properly 75,000 acres of land. Each year new wells in new districts fire being developed and in the state where irrigation has only readied 2.6 per cent of the area, the consistent thin:? to do is to develop every foot of water which is available," said Director Peterson. "In some areas, especially in the northern part of the state where water is being pumped out in large quantities, the future economic development will be to open galleries at the mouth of the canyons to allow the streams which run to waste in the winter months, to flow directly in and fill up the ground water reservoirs. This is a practice in other areas and can be utilized economically in several areas In Utah. With water so scarce and land so plentiful it is fundamentally important that every effort be made to develop all water economtc-all- y artesian feasible." Studies of the underground water development and the possibilities of supplementing the streams with flow and pump-welsupplies, have been carried on by Director Peterson for ten years as a project fostered by the Utah Experiment station. Studies made this year furnished the needed data for the compilation of a bulletin which will be printed and made available to the public In a short time. Following is a brief report written by Director Peterson after his recent studies in Salt Lake, Juab, Millard, Beaver. Washington, Iron. Sevier, Sanpete. Garfield and Piute counties. "Cai'eful examination was made of all irrigation well districts south of Provo. This work is not new. For the past several years these districts have been visited at this time of the year to determine the effect of accumulated water of the winter on the underground supply. In general the well districts are in a more favorable condition than the areas rienendine: on streams. ls Local News Mrs. B. P.
