Large pumping plants operated by

at Utah Lake to lift water from the
lake and thus maintain the normal
flow of the Jordan river during the
summer months when the water is so
low that the crops suffer at the most
critical period. In the Cache Valley
electric pumps are also used to lift
the water from the river to the bench
