An Appraisal of the Quality of Surface Water in the Sevier Lake Basin (TP-19)

By: D. C. Hahl and J. C. Mundorff

The Sevier and Beaver River systems are the two major river systems in the Sevier Lake basin in Utah. This report contains an analysis of reconnaissance data collected during the 1964 water year regarding the quality of water in these rivers and their tributaries.

The purpose of the reconnaissance was to obtain needed water-quality information for the basin. Corollary purposes were to (1) determine the suitability of surface water for specific uses, (2) determine the need and criteria for a water-quality network, and (3) locate sources of organic pollution to the rivers.
