Washington County Water Conservancy District

La solicitud de derechos de agua de un desarrollador del Valle de Ogden fue rechazada en marzo. Expertos en agua dicen que la escasez y mejores técnicas de medición harán que conflictos como este sean más comunes.

The amendment proposed by Utah Rep. Celeste Maloy would have sold more than 10,000 acres of federal land near St. George to local governments.

Local leaders want to shore up roads and water infrastructure for Washington County’s future growth. Conservationists worry it could open the door to privatizing Western landscapes.

An Ogden Valley developer’s water rights application was rejected in March. Water experts say scarcity and better water-measuring techniques will make conflicts like this more common.

Drought conditions statewide are now the worst they’ve been in nearly two years, and local water leaders want to make sure that message sinks in with Utahns.

Some schools, parks and homes in St. George still use drinking water to water lawns. As the fast-growing desert community looks to stretch supplies, it’s connecting more of them to secondary water.

Water conservation is vital to southwest Utah’s future and removing irrigated grass at many of its golf courses would be a big step toward stretching that supply. But efforts have struggled to gain traction.

Replacing lawns with desert plants could help save water in drier parts of Utah, such as Washington County. But the shift can be daunting. The Parade of Gardens Southern Utah hopes to change that.

The hot, dry outlook for this summer’s rainy season shows Utah’s recent string of wetter-than-average years may be coming to an end.

Estimates indicate that visitors and seasonal residents make up more than a quarter of the people in the St. George area on a typical day during peak season.
