A compromise reached between Great Salt Lake brine shrimp harvesters and the Division of Wildlife Resources was approved by the Utah Wildlife Board July 1. The board met in Salt Lake City to approve rule changes for Utahs 1999 2000 brine shrimp harvesting season on the Great Salt Lake. One rule change will allow brine shrimp harvesters to take brine shrimp eggs out of the Great Salt Lake 24 hours a day during this fall's harvesting season. Brine shrimp harvesters wanted this change to prevent races to the beet brine shrimp harvesting spots each morning, which had led to conflicts among some of the harvesters, said Clay Perschon, Great Salt Lake Ecosystem Project leader for the Division of Wildlife Resources.

In this example, divide that amount of water between two application a week, he continues. That means the sprinklers need to be left on 35 to 40 minutes each time. If water tends to run off the lawn quickly due to a slope, it may be necessary to water in shorter intervale, but still all in the same day. One station could be left on far 15 minutes, then turned on an hour later to water that area another 15 minutes. This allows the lawn to absorb the first watering, then the second is able to penetrate deeper. If you currently water every day, it may take a little while for the lawn to grow new roots and adept to a new watering diet. Goods peed asys Start by watering a bttle longer the first day, then none the next. For a couple of weeks, just water every other day. "The lawn may give you a couple of dirty looks once it rrautreyou are cutting back on its supply, but it will thank you in the long run." he say "Once the lawn has adapted to every other day, water a bttle longer and cut back to every thud day. Those ugly glare will start again, but eventually the lawn will be grateful you helped it kick a bad watering habit." Adapting to a new watering schedule will make the lawn tougher so it can better withstand diseases, insects and weed invasions, Goodspced says. It will also be more prepared to handle hot weather and dry spells or drought conditions that may occur in the future.
