Groundwater Conditions in Utah

Web Application

Since 1964, the U.S. Geological Survey, the Utah Department of Natural Resources, Division of Water Rights, and the Utah Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Water Quality have cooperatively published an annual report describing groundwater conditions in Utah. The annual paper reports provided data that enabled interested parties to maintain awareness of changing groundwater conditions in the state.

The Web Application, accessible from this page, is the next version of those paper reports. Updates will be ongoing.
