On the right it receives anumber of large tributaries from the Wasatch. The largest tributary of Utah Lake is Provo or Tunpanogas River, which rises near the souice of the Weber and Bear, in the Uintah Mountains. Minor tributaries of Utah Lake are American Fork, Spanish Fork, Hobble Creek, Payson Creek, Salt Creek, etc. On all the tributaries of Utah Lake there are about 320 square miles of irrigable land ; and in the Jordan Valley, below Utah Lake, inclusive of Bountiful and Centerville, there... are about 250 square miles. In addition the water can be carried around the point of the Oquirrh Range on the southern shore of Great Salt Lake, and be used to water 50 square miles of Tooele Valley. Utah Lake is a natural reservoir, 145 square miles in surface area. With suitable headworks its volume can be controlled, and the entire charge be concentrated in the season of irrigation. The mean volume of the outlet is about 1, 000 second-cubic feet, but one-fourth of this must be assigned to watering lands on the tributaries of the lake and to evaporation, leaving a perennial flow of 750 second-cubic feet, which if concentrated into four months would irrigate for that period, 350 square miles.
