The Feasibility Of Enhacing Streamflow In The Sevier River Basin Of Utah By Seeding Winter Mountain Clouds, Arlin B. Super, David W. Reynolds, Bureau Of Reclamation, U.S. Department Of The Interior

The Bureau of Reclamation conducted a feasibility study of seeding winter mountain clouds as a possible means of enhancing the water supplies of the Sevier River Basin of Utah. A considerable body of pertinent meteorological observations from in or near the basin is examined. The evidence indicates that Utah winter mountain clouds often have more supercooled liquid water available than is naturally converted to snowfall.

Wyoming Statewide Wilderness Study Report Wilderness Study Area Specific Recommendations, United States Bureau Of Land Management

All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)

The recommendation for this WSA is to designate 17,150 acres of BLM land and 1,390 acres of State land as wilderness. This alternative is considered to be the environmentally preferable alternative as it would result in the least change in the natural environment over the long term. The entire 17,150 acres of federal land and 1,390 acres of state land within the WSA are recommended for wilderness designation and are shown on the Bobcat Draw Badlands WSA map. The state lands would be recommended for acquisition to enhance the manageability of the area as wilderness.
