Show f ! 1982 Was Above Average For Utah Water Resources that continued Snowmelt through July, followed by rains in the Wasatch basin in September, contributed to an unusually wet 1982 water year in Utah, according to the U.S. Georecord-breakin- g logical Survey. The water year used by hydrologists runs from Oct. 1 of one year through Sept. 30 of the following year. It is designed to coincide with the growing season and to begin and end during a period of generally low streamflows. streamflows on Above-averag- e five of the states major streams contributed to increased reservoir storage in the Colorado River system above Glen Canyon Dam and a significant rise in the level of the Great Salt Lake. A Sept. storm that dumped up to 3.72 inches of rain in the Salt Lake City area and greater amounts in nearby mountains was r termed a meterological event by the U.S. Weather Service, meaning that a storm of that magnitude has a chance of occurring once every 100 years, or a one percent chance of occurring in any 25-2- 9 "100-yea- given year. The storm did not produce any r floods, accompanying flow but it did cause a record-higof 2,800 cubic feet per second (cfs), or about 1.3 million gallons per minute (gpm) for the combined discharge of the Jordan River and the Surplus Canal in Salt Lake City "100-yea- h Sept. 26. Max Mixes It The combined watercourses discharge into Great Salt Lake at the Big Cottonwood Creek near Salt Lake City had a new record-hig- h daily flow of 1,000 cfs (646 million gpd) Sept. 26. That was nearly 20 lakes southeastern shore and helped boost the September level of the lakes surface to 4,200.2 feet above sea level, which was two feet higher than the lakes level at the end of the 1981 water year. The U.S. Geological Survey monitors the quantity and quality of the nations surface and ground waters. Working in cooperation with other federal, state and local agencies, the USGS Water Resources Division district office in Salt Lake City compiled the following information on streamflows, reservoir contents levels in Utah for and ground-wate- r water year that ended Sept. 30, 1982. Colordo River near Cisco had an average flow of 6,808 cfs, or 4.4 billions gallons per day (gpd). This was 20 percent more than normal for the 87 years that records have been kept at that index station. The highest flow of the year on the Colorado River near Cisco occurred May 6, when a flow of 23,700 cfs (15.3 billion gpd) was recorded. Green River at Green River had an average flow of 5,936 cfs (3.8 billion gpd), 6 percent above normal for the 88 years that records have been kept there. The highest daily flow of the year on the Green River at Green River was 20,00 cfs (12.9 billion gpd) May 8, and the low flow was 990 cfs (640 million gpd) Dec. 31, 1981. .

Its difficult but rewarding to listen when others are talking. et - - Wildlife Federation Golden Anniversary The Tooele County Wildlife Federation was organized in 1933. The objectives were to advocate the wise use of our natural resources, protection of our environment, and promote better hunting and fishing. Generally these objectives have been attained. There are more deer now than there was 50 years ago. The construction of two reservoirs in the county have increased the fishing potential. The population of pheasant has decreased, but this is compensated for by the introduction of Chukars. The Timpie Waterfowl Refuge was a project promoted by the federation. Hunting and gun accidents have decreased due to the hunter safety training provided to youngsters by federation members. Charles Lawrence, Sr., Isaac Walters and "Mick St. Jeor are the three oldest living members of the federation. They along with the past presidents and 20 year veterans will be honored at the annual business meeting of the federation on February 18 at the Courthouse Auditorium. Jim Ekins will show wildlife movies, Woody Fillmore and his chuck wagon crew will serve barbeque sandwiches and Doug Day, Director of Wildlife Resources Division, will discuss the funding for restoration and maintenance of fish hatcheries. The public is invited to attend. Up ( VALUABLE COUPON Max Walters, recently brought up from the Tooele JV squad, gets in melee with South players during Tuesday afternoon action.
