General Investigation Reconnaissance Report Provo and Vicinity, Utah

Abstract

The study area includes the Provo River downstream from the canyon mouth to Utah Lake and the east side tributary drainages from Mile High Canyon on the north to Ironton - Canyon on the south, within the city of Provo. Provo has been plagued by frequent floods from both the Provo River and eastside drainages for well over a century. This study authorization was requested by Provo City through the Utah Congressional delegation to address these serious flood concerns on the Provo River mainstem as well as the serious flood threat caused by the eastside drainage which results almost exclusively due to runoff from Federal Lands.
