The North Fork Salt Watershed (HUC 07110005) covers an area of approximately 1,140 square miles in central Utah. The watershed is characterized by a rugged terrain with steep slopes and deep canyons that drain into the North Fork of the Salt River. The hydrology of the watershed is dominated by snowmelt in the spring and summer, with a peak flow occurring in late May or early June. The snowpack in the watershed is typically deep and persistent, with an average snow water equivalent of around 20 inches. Surface water in the watershed is primarily used for irrigation and municipal purposes, with several reservoirs located throughout the watershed. The constituents of these reservoirs vary, but generally include sediment, nutrients, and organic matter. The climate of the watershed is semi-arid, with hot, dry summers and cold, snowy winters. Over the past few decades, the region has experienced a trend towards warmer temperatures and decreased snowpack, which has led to concerns about water availability for both irrigation and municipal use.
