SEEPPGE SWDY OF SIX CANALS

IN SALT LAKE CDUNI'Y, lJI'AH, 1982-83

By L. R. Herbert, R. W. Cruff, and K. M. WaddellU.S. Geological Survey

ABSTRACl'

A study of selected reaches of the Utah and Salt Lake, Utah LakeDistributing, Provo Reservoir, Draper Irrigation, East Jordan, and Jordan andSalt Lake City Canals in Salt Lake County, Utah, was made to determine gainsor losses of flow in those reaches. Three to five sets of seepagemeasurements were made on each canal during 1982 or 1983. Adjustments forfluctuations in flow were made from information obtained from water-stagerecorders operated at selected locations during the time of each seep:lge run.

The study showed an overall net loss of about 9.5 cubic feet per secondin the Utah and Sal t Lake Canal, 11.0 cubic feet per second in the Utah LakeDistributing canal, 20.5 cubic feet per seoond in the Provo Reservoir canal,1.5 cubic feet per second in the Draper Irrigation Canal, and 4.0 cubic feetper second in the East Jordan canal. It also showed a net gain of about 6.0cubic feet per second in the Jordan and Sal t Lake City Canal. The gains andlosses are attributed primarily to the relation of the canals to the depth ofthe water table near the canals.

INTROOOCl'ION

This report gives the results of seep:lge studies on six large canals inSal t Lake County, Utah. The study (sixth of a series) is part of thestatewide water-resources program oonducted by the u.s. Geological Survey incooperation with the Utah Department of Natural Resources, Division of WaterRights. Information on gains or losses of canal flow is needed by watermanagers for allocating irrigation water. Detailed investigation of a canalsystem can aid in locating the losing or gaining sections of the system.

GENERAL DESCRIPrION OF CANAL SYSTEMS

This report describes 19.5 miles of the Utah and Sal t Lake canal, 12.9miles of the Utah Lake Distributing Canal, and 13.8 miles of the ProvoReservior canal, which are canals on the west side of Salt Lake Valley, and10.3 miles of the Draper Irrigation canal, 20.2 miles of the East Jordancanal, and 14.6 miles of the Jordan and Salt Lake City canal, which are in theeast side of the valley. Water is diverted to the canals from the JordanRiver near where the river enters the valley, except for the Provo ReservoirCanal which is diverted from the Provo River southeast of the study area. Thewater is mainly used for irrigation and industry.

r.1E'lliOOO OF INVESTIGATION

A reoonnaissance was made of the canals on the west side of the Sal t LakeValley during the fall of 1981 and of the canals on the east side during thewinter of 1983. The sections of the canals selected for the study wereexamined for: (1) the locations of controls, turnouts, or other diversion

1

structures, and for bridges; (2) the general condition of the canals (forexample, whether they recently had been cleaned or other maintenance had beenperformed); and (3) the location of areas of natural and irrigation-returnflow to the canals.

Using the information from the reconnaissance, the selected sections ofthe canals were divided into reaches, and measuring sites were selected withineach reach. Water-stage recorrers were o~rated at selected sites, mainly atthe start and end of each reach. Because of the depth of some of the canals,in some cases it was necessary to locate measuring sites at existing bridgesor to construct bridges or cableways from which measurements could be made.

Five sets of discharge measurements were made at 23 sites along the Utahand Salt Lake canal during 1982--on May 26, June 24, July 28, August 25, andSeptember 24. Four sets of discharge measurements were made at 13 sitesalong the utah Lake Distributing canal during 1982--on May 27, June 25, July29, and August 26. Four sets of discharge measurements were made at 16 sitesalong the Provo Reservoir canal during 1982--on May 27, June 25, July 29, andAugust 26. 'Ihree sets of discharge measurements were mare at 10 sites alongthe Draper Irrigation canal during 1983--on June 22, June 28, and July 2l.Four sets of discharge measurements were made at 21 sites along the EastJordan canal during 1983--on June 15, June 29, July 20, and August 24. 'lhreesets of discharge measurements were mare at 14 sites along the Jordan and SaltLake City canal during 1983--on September 16, 19, and 23. Sites where ameasurement (or estimate) was mare at least once are shown in figures 1-6.

The measurements of discharge were made with a current meter, usingstandard methods of the U.S. Geological Survey (Buchanan and Somers, 1969).Each person making measurements was assigned a reach in which the requirednumber of measurements could be completed in a day. In each reach,measurements were made at all selected measuring sites, inclUding both ends ofthe reach, all turnouts, and all inflow points. For each measurement, thedate, time, discharge, tem~rature, and s~cific conductance of the water areshown in tables 1-6.

The numbers used for the turnouts and inflow points in figures 1-6 (forexample, T2 or R2) were assigned in a downstream order to those turnouts andinflow points that had flow during at least one set of measurements.Continuous water-stage records were obtained for each reach and are shown infigures 7-12.

PROCEDURES USED IN mUUl'IN; GAINS AND LOSSES

The resul ts of the seepage measurements for reaches of the canals aregiven in table 7. The procedures used to obtain these results are describedin the follow ing pages.

A computation was made of the flow that would be expected at each maincanal measuring site, assuming no loss or gain. Beginning with the flow atthe head of each reach and proceeding in a downstream sequence, all turnoutflows were subtracted and all inflows were added 'llie computed value at eachsite then was adjusted for fluctuations in canal flow that originated upstreamfrom the reach being analyzed Information required to make this adjustmentis the change in flow with time at the head of the reach, the time ofmeasurements at the head of the reach and the downstream measuring site, andthe time required for passage of water from the head of the reach to thedownstream site.

The change in flow with time at the head of the reach was determined fromthe recorded gage height and the discharge measurement at the head of eachreach. The times of the two measurements are available from tables 1-6, andthe time of travel between the two points was determined from the stagerecorders at or near the ends of each reach.

As an example, assume that the measurement at the head of the reach was200 cubic feet per second at 0800 hours, the measurement at the downstreammeasuring site was made at 1000 hours, the time required for flow to travelbetween the two sites is 1 hour, and the discharge at the head of the reachwas decreasing at the rate of 5 cubic feet per second per hour. To make theadj ustment, the travel time is subtracted f rom the time of the downstreammeasurement to give a comp;lrable time for flow at the head of the reach. Fromthe gage-height records and the measurements available for the head of thereach, the flow at 0900 hours was calculated at 195 cubic feet fer sea:md, oran adj ustment of -5 cubic feet per second. This adj ustment then was appl iedto the computed value of the downstream measuring site.

The computed value then was subtracted from the measured value todetermine the amount of gain or loss between the head of the reach and thedownstream measuring site. The amount of gain or loss then was plotted as afunction of distance downstream from the head of the reach. 'lliis was

Within a given reach, the amount of gain or loss varied in each set ofseepage measurements and among the several sets of measurements. Thisvariation is shown 1::¥ the scatter of the plotted points in figures 13-18. Thescatter is attributed to one or more of the following: (1) Poor measuringconditions, (2) changes in the rate of seepage loss from the canal, (3)changes in the rate of seepage return to the canal of ground water andunconsumed irrigation water, (4) the inability to adjust completely forfluctuation in the amount of flow within a given reach, and (5) thepossibility that a water user changed the flow in his turnouts or returnflows during the time of the measurements.

EVALUATION OF '!HE CANAL SYSTEMS

utah and salt Lake canal

Five seepage runs with measurements at 23 sites were made on the utah andSalt Lake canal (fig. 1). The measurements made on July 28, 1982, areincluded in table 1, but they were not used for conclusions in this reportbecause they were affected 1::¥ a rain storm. All reaches that were studied inthe downstream three quarters of the canal had small losses, whereas theupstream quarter had one reach with a gain and two reaches with no loss orgain. The net loss for the entire canal was about 9.5 cubic feet ~r second,or about 0.5 cubic foot per second per mile. The maximum loss in any reachwas about 7 cubic feet per second, and the maximum gain was about 6 cubicfeet ~r second.

SUMMARY AND ffiNCLUSIONS

Most reaches of the canals west of the Jordan River (Utah and Salt Lake,Provo Reservoir, and Utah Lake Distributing Canals) showed seepage losses,whereas most reaches of canals east of the Jordan River (Draper Irrigation,

8

East Jordan, and Jordan and Salt Lake City Canals) showed seer:age gains or nosignificant change. 'rhe differences can be attributed primarily to the depthto the water table near the canals.

Large gains in several reaches of the Jordan and Salt Lake City Canal andthe East Jordan canal resulted from the discharge of ground water into thecanals where water levels in a shallow-unconfined aquifer were near the landsurface (Seiler and Waddell, 1984, pl. 2) and above the bottom of the canals.The losses in other r:arts of the two canals were in the area where waterlevels were below the bottom of the canals.

Preliminary results from a comprehensive ongoing (1984) study of theground-water reservoir in the Salt Lake Valley, however, indicate that thequanti ty of ground water that was discharged to the East Jordan and Jordan andSalt Lake City canals during 1983 was greater than the average annualrecharge to the shallow aquifer (written communication, R. L. Seiler, u.S.Geological Survey, January 15, 1984). Precipitation on the Salt Lake Valleyduring 1982 and 1983 was considerably above normal, and the water table in theshallow aquifer prooobly was higher than average during this study. 'rhus, thegains computed during 1983 prooobly were greater than would re expected duringperiods of normal or below normal precipitation.

\'lest of the Jordan River, water levels in the shallow aquifer along mostreaches of the canals that were studied generally are more than 20 feet belowland surface; and thus they are below the bottoms of the canals. This isconducive to seepage loss, not to gain. Apparently the above normalprecipitation during 1982 and 1983 did not result in a rise of water levelssufficient to create gaining reaches. 'rhus, the seeplge losses reported hereare prooobly representative of corditions in these canals at all times.
