Ludlow, General Manager of the Central Utah Water Conservancy District, said. , As part of our environment, we must also talk about providing enough water ao that our children can continue to live here in Utah.

"The environmental tradeoffs re- quired by the Central Utah Projects Bonneville Unit have been studied, and studied again. The potential harm to Utahs environment is minimal, even when considered by itself, and it becomes very small when compared to the total ber jfits which will come to Utah as a rrjult of the Central Utah Project, jccording to Mr. Ludlow. The Bonneville Unit of the Central Utah Project will intercept south flowing streams on the slopes of the Uinta Mountains including Bock and Currant Creeks and, through a aeries of aqueducts and canals, deliver a potion of the water north ' to Salt Lake County and as far south as the Richfield and Delta areas. The water will be used for municipal, industrial and agricultural purposes. Jordan Aqueduct and $14.4 million Jordan Treatment Plant will deliver water to Salt Lake County where the residents of the county are presently living on "borrowed water, according to Robert Hilbert, General Manager of the Salt Lake County Water Conner-- ' vancy District. It will also solve the summer low pressure problems on the west side of Salt Lake County, he said.

Although hunting pressure was down substantially, opening weekend pheasant hunters in northern Utah enjoyed good weather and generally good hunting. Division of Wildlife Resources upland game biologist jay Roberson says hunter success was up from 1982 in Box Elder, Cache, Weber and Uintah counties. According to Roberson, hunter success was better than predicted in Duchesne and Millard counties, but somewhat lower than expected in Carbon, Emery and Sevier counties. He added that success was about the same aa last year in Juab and Sanpete counties. Hunter success was down in Salt Lake and Davis counties, where loss of pheasant habitat and hunter access are continuing problems. Roberson sttributes the reduced hunting pressure in northern Utah to a steady decline in available hunting areas, particularly in Weber, Davis, Salt Lake, Millard and Utah counties. Although the 1983 pheasant season ends November 18 in much of the state, the season continues through November 18 in Box Elder, Cache, Davia and Weber counties, and through November 20 in Duchesne and Uintah Counties.
