Title	Weber Basin project, Utah : development of the potential Weber Basin project, Utah, Bonneville Basin, July 15, 1949;
Description	Report by the Regional director on the potential Weber Basin Project, a multiple-purpose development designed for maximum utilization of the water and related resources of a rapidly growing section of north central Utah. The Weber Basin area, a part of the Bonneville Basin, covers approximately 2,500 square miles, 3 percent of the state of Utah. Great Salt Lake forms the western boundary of the area and the north, east, and south boundaries are the divides between the basin and the Bear, Provo, and Jordan River drainages, respectively. Present water resource developments utilize an average of 60 percent of the total Weber Basin stream flow. The remaining 40 percent is unregulated and causes flood damage in the spring season along the lower reaches of the Weber and Provo Rivers. The project is designed to develop the basin's remaining water resources for agriculture and municipalities, increasing usable water supply of the area, making more lands suitable for irrigation farming, and decreasing flood damage in the basin.
