The Green River and its utilization

The purpose of this report is to present the facts regarding the available water supply of the Green River Basin and other data that will be helpful in planning to put this water to beneficial use. For some parts of the basin a mass of information is available; for other parts the data are less complete. An attempt is made in this report to present an analysis of all this information, supplemented by personal field studies, in such a way as to indicate the economic factors involved in utilizing the waters of the basin, and also to give facts from which the relative value of the irrigation and power projects may be readily deduced.

Water powers of the Great Salt Lake basin

The Great Salt Lake basin comprises that part of the Great Basin that drains into Great Salt Lake, Utah. It is about 27,000 square miles in area and includes the northern part of Utah, a small part of eastern Nevada, the southeast corner of Idaho, and the southwest corner of Wyoming. The eastern part of the area consists of mountainous highlands; the western part chiefly of low-lying plains. The lowest portion of the plain is occupied by Great Salt Lake and minor parts by low mountain ranges. The area has no outlet to the sea.
