Central Utah Project
As we were talking in class about logan and building dams for water storage. I was thinking where does all the water really go and how does it get there. So I thought about the central utah project, and what it was really about. There are eight different collection areas, and a web of pipes and canals to take water from these areas to places miles away that will use this water. Alot of this water has a price tag. If a city like Salt Lake wants water for municipal use they have to exchange some water for irrigation from the area they are buying the water from.

I always wondered where the water was coming from. I knew that Salt Lake didn't have a way to hold all of the water that is used but never knew where it came from or how it gets where it needs to be. It is impressive to me that the central utah project has it all figured out and we can get, I guess purchase the water that is needed.
