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.
