Baseflow estimation and trend and correlation analysis results for East Canyon Creek, Summit and Morgan Counties, Utah
April 15, 2025
This data release is associated with the following Scientific Investigations Report:
Root, J.C., and Rumsey, C.A., 2025, Estimation of baseflow and flooding characteristics for East Canyon Creek, Summit and Morgan Counties, Utah: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2025–5003, 29 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20255003.
East Canyon Creek is a perennial snowmelt-dominated stream that lies in the Snyderville Basin of Summit and Morgan Counties, Utah. Its headwaters begin as McLeod Creek on the eastern slopes of the Wasatch Mountains before joining Kimball Creek to form East Canyon Creek, proper, below the Interstate 80 overpass where it flows north-northwest into East Canyon Reservoir. The reach between the headwaters and East Canyon Reservoir includes three U.S. Geological Survey streamgage stations that monitor streamflow discharge and specific conductance. The Snyderville Basin Water Reclamation District provides wastewater collection and reclamation services for Park City, Utah, and the surrounding areas and operates a water reclamation facility on East Canyon Creek near Jeremy Ranch. This data release includes daily, monthly, and annual streamflow and estimated baseflow discharge data from three streamgages (10133650, 10133800, 10133980), monthly and annual climatological data from two snow telemetry stations (684, 814), and results of monthly and annual trend and correlation analyses between the 2011 and 2022 water years.

Estimation of baseflow and flooding characteristics for East Canyon Creek, Summit and Morgan Counties, Utah
An improved understanding of hydrologic responses to changing climatic conditions is needed to better inform water management practices. East Canyon Creek, a perennial, snowmelt-dominated stream in the Wasatch Mountains of northern Utah, is subjected to increasing development and demands on water in the Snyderville Basin and adjacent areas. In this study, streamflow and specific...
