Abstract

A seepage study was done during 1988 on selected reaches of the Sevier River in Utah above Sevier Bridge Reservoir, the East Fork Sevier River in Black Canyon and Kingston Canyon, Long-East Bench and McEwen Canals in the upper Sevier River basin, and the San Pitch River in Sanpete Valley to determine gain or loss of flow from seepage. A net gain occurred in all of the reaches except Kingston Canyon on the East Fork Sevier River, which had a net loss. In the upper Sevier River basin, the Sevier River between Hatch and Circleville Canyon had a net gain of about 125 cubic feet per second; Long-East Bench Canal had a net gain of about 0.7 cubic foot per second; McEwen Canal had a net gain of about 0.9 cubic foot per second; the East Fork Sevier River in Black Canyon had a net gain of about 3.0 cubic feet per second; and the East Fork Sevier River in Kingston Canyon had a net loss of about 8.0 cubic feet per second. In central Sevier Valley, both the south and the north sections had large gains. The net gain for both sections, combined, was about 213 cubic feet per second for August 1988 and about 230 cubic feet per second for October 1988. The reach of the San Pitch River studied had a net gain of about 23.4 cubic feet per second.
