Logan River

Critics of a major upcoming canal project in Cache Valley join us today to discuss water conservation, Great Salt Lake, and more on Access Utah.

The project has stoked fears about the future of river recreation and the downstream effects on the ailing Great Salt Lake.

Let’s celebrate our Logan Island Twin Rivers Reverence Vibe with poetry and conservation actions filled with the delights of birds and bird song, which are actual metrics of the health of a city.

Logan is considering reducing the required distance between new development and rivers or wetlands from 100 feet to 25 feet. Some residents worry the change could harm the city’s waterways.

This year the 60th Anniversary of Utah State University’s Water Research Lab was honored during the annual Spring Runoff Conference.

While Logan city residents fight for the preservation of Island neighborhood trees, residents have resolved a conflict over the Logan River.

The plan calls for improvements to Logan's flood channels and agricultural water management.

The porous landscape makes it difficult to predict how much water makes it to mountain rivers and valley groundwater.

I guess the lesson, as a wise first grader reminded me this week during our opinion writing session, is “Don’t yuck somebody’s yum.”

UPR previously covered potential wetland impacts caused by the Willow Lakes housing development proposal near the Logan River, but there are additional concerns about flood risks.
