Surface Flow Characteristics


Utah has a semi-arid climate with variable precipitation patterns and significant snowfall in the mountains. Major surface flows include the Great Salt Lake, Utah Lake, and Bear Lake, with numerous reservoirs and dams throughout the state. The Colorado River and its tributaries, including the Green River, are vital sources of water for Utah. The state's hydrology is heavily influenced by its topography, with the Wasatch Mountains playing a key role in snowpack accumulation and runoff. The snowpack is critical for providing water to the state's major rivers and irrigation systems. Watershed data is closely monitored to predict and manage water availability in the state, with a focus on balancing agricultural, municipal, and environmental needs.
