Upper Sevier

Watershed Hydrology

The Upper Sevier Watershed (HUC 16030001) covers an area of approximately 4,459 square miles in central Utah. The area is characterized by a complex hydrological system, with the Sevier River being the primary waterway. The watershed receives significant snowfall during the winter months, which contributes to the snowpack that feeds the river and several reservoirs in the area. The watershed is home to several species of fish, including Bonneville cutthroat trout, which are native to the Sevier River. Agriculture is a significant land use in the area, with alfalfa, corn, and barley being the primary crops. In recent years, the watershed has experienced drought conditions, with below-average snowpack and low reservoir levels. Climate change may exacerbate these trends in the future, leading to reduced water availability for both agricultural and municipal use in the area.
