This report examines the water quality management implemented for the Provo River, Jordanelle, and Deer Creek Reservoirs during the 2008 water year. It highlights significant increases in Total Suspended Solids (TSS) load differences between Woodland and Hailstone from 2005 to 2008, potentially linked to construction activities. The analysis reveals high levels of total and dissolved phosphorus from various tributaries, with Spring Creek being a major contributor. Recommendations for monitoring and management strategies are discussed, emphasizing the need for ongoing assessment of water quality parameters.
