Abstract | A description of the Sevier River system with reservoirs and locations of gaging stations is presented. A resume of water rights by Court Devree is included with details of a division into primary and secondary categories of rights with the water volumes proportioned by percentages. Winter storage as well as spring storage is apportioned by water rights. Return flow plays an important part in the operation of this desert river basin. Accurate volume flow forecasts are made from snow survey and precipitation gage measurements. Low-flow forecasts aare very important in water apportionment. |
