Flood Information Too Little, Too Late shows very few springs in the Davis County area. James Mundorff, retired hydrologist and author of the study, said that the actual study took place in 1968 and was largely a literature search and only the major springs were visited. Utah might be described as a land of 10,000 springs and seeps that havent been recorded, said Mundorff. Mundorff and others used the topographical map of Utah to help in the location of the springs, but the years when the map was made were very dry years. The seeps or springs in Rudd and Stone Creek Canyons would not show up during a dry year. Those were dry years, the Great Salt Lake was at its lowest point, he said, Money is the major reason more studies havent been done. The U.S. Geological .Survey works in cooperation with the state and or county, said Ted Arnow, district chief of the water resources division. TANNER HOLMES Review Correspondent By SUSAN . FARMINGTON City officials were told in October 1982 at a Davis County Council of Governments meeting to prepare for floods in the spring and were given information on applying for disaster assistance, said John Zippro, director of the Davis County emergency services. But few realized that the major flooding would come from mountain streams and mudslides, and not from the Great Salt Lake. Citizens as well as city and county officials were caught off guard with the magnitude of the flooding problems. But with all the agencies involved in the monitoring process, little information on the potential for disaster found its way to the average citizen. Weve been monitoring slides in Davis County for a good many years, said Bruce N. Kaliser, chief of the geologic .hazard section of the state geologists office in the Utah Department Resources. ; of Most of the mapping done by the water resources division is for culinary water use, said Arnow. The state or local agency comes to us and we find funds to match theirs. We cannot by law put up more money than the state puts up. Natural In the 1920s and 30s you can see terrific stories and photos of houses moved and buried by a number of very damaging debris flows, he said. At that time the situation was studied by very competent individuals who felt that one of the major factors for the slides was graz-inSince then there has been no grazing and even without , grazing these slides are still oc; I -' county officials and the news media and river officials. The NWS does not monitor any creeks in Davis County because the water is from very small streams, he said. Very little data are available on mudslides. We have no capability of monitoring those and it takes a fairly long condition of water in the soil to cause the problem, said Jerry Williams, hydrologist in charge of the Colorado Basin River Forecast Center, and Farmington Rudd Creek slide.
