Miscellaneous Reports and Publications
In it's century-long existence, the Division of Water Rights has played an important role in managing the use and development of Utah's finite waters. Recently, work to document the history of the Division, its policies, people, and influence was begun. This page will provide documents, reports, and other files related to this ongoing project. Much of the credit must go to Kevin Arthofer, author of the majority of these reports.
