A plan to keep northern Utah lawns green could drastically cut flows in a river that feeds the Great Salt Lake

The president of the irrigation company backing the project said people should have a choice in what water they use to keep their lawns going.

"A major canal project proposed in Logan would divert water from First Dam to flow to residents in Logan, North Logan, and Hyde Park.

Proponents of the project say that the current system isn’t efficient enough in getting water to those towns. Critics are worried that diverting this water would diminish the Little Logan River, and that it would be better to let the water flow on to the Bear River and ultimately the Great Salt Lake. Today we speak with critics of the project: Susanne Janecke, Andy Keller, Alana Nafziger, and Beth Booton."

The tallest tree of the banks of the Little Logan River is a rare mature American Elm, left.  The cool mountain waters of the Little Logan River keep dutch elm disease from devastating these mature and majestic trees.  There are dozens of mature American Elm on the Island.  This rare tree is growing at about 50 E, 100 S..  View to the North.

Family pets enjoy the Little Logan River too, and they lure their parents into the water as well. It was perfect tubing flow in the Cache County Fairgrounds during SummeFest.  11.7 cfs is enough flow for most kids to tube.

Everyone got involved in checking discharge levels (not really).
