| A 1916 landslide at 470 E on Canyon Road collapsed the entire Logan Bluff after an August rainstorm. A thick clay layer identified at the base of the unstable slope during study of the Logan Tank and water pipe route may have been a slip surface in this catastrophic slide (locate Figure 5c in the report). The darkest and flattest layer is probably a similar thick clay-rich layer. Geologists call these fine-grained clay-bearing sediment "bottomset beds of a Gilbert delta" formed by the Logan River in Lake Bonneville at the Temple shoreline.

Rivers are natural waterways whereas canals are completely different man-made waterways.
Managing a natural 10,000-year-old Little Logan River as if it were a man-made canal has not converted the Little Logan River into one. That is not possible.
If it were possible to transform a river into a canal, one might also be able to transform a cat into a dog simply by “managing” it like one.
Such ‘management’ will never make the cat bark.
Nor can a natural river "become" a man-made canal. Inserting concrete liners, irrigation features, and making the damaging decision to withdraw all of its water in the winter time does not change its nature.
Rivers and canals are fundamentally different physical THINGS.
