| Show Ground Water Study Completed For Portion of Sevier Basin GUNNISON of the of the Sevier River Basin between Yuba Dam and Leamington Canyon has recently been completed by the US Geological Survey in cooperation with the Utah State Engineer’s Office The study area covers about 900 square miles in Juab and Millard Counties including a reach of the Sevier River between Yuba Dam and Leamington Canyon The larger valleys studies are southern Juab Valley Round Valley and Scipio Valley Also studied were Mills Little Dog and Tintic Wash Valleys A major result of the study is the confirmation of the relationship between a large number of sink holes and the flow of Blue and Molten Springs which rise near the Sevier River one to two miles below Yuba Dam In 1963 the two springs had a total discharge of about 22600 An TV Microfilming Universal Investigation - "THE Sugar beet and turkey MlPierponl Ave (84101) resources A clue to the origin of the water discharging from Blue and Molten was found in Scipio Springs a closed basin about 8 Valley miles to the southwest where many sink holes are oriented in lines pointing directly toward the spring area Deep water levels In Scipio Valley exist at altitudes only a few feet higher than the altitude of the springs Also the water in the deep wells is similar in chemical quality to water sampled from the springs These clues and information derived from geologic mapping of the area led to the conclusion that water is moving from Scipio Valley and adjacent areas toward the springs through solution channels aligned along faults in the underlying limestone At the springs the water rises from the alluvium under hydrostatic pres sure and flows into the Sevier River The report concludes that the Sevier River gains about 30 cubic feet of water per second from In the discharge reach from Yuba Dam to Leamington Canyon Most of this gain is from Round Scipio Little Valleys Most of the 30 is from Blue and Molten Springs Some water could be salvaged from evapotransplratlon by vegetation In the basin between Yuba Dam and Leamington Canyon by Area n m ib Year descrited report Farm Bureau Talent Quest Set In Valley Utah 846 34 vrrri IK a? j Vi ttv nr (A iinrir- -- k jr '"N- - f ?
