Our Approach
Our Approach
Research relating to Utah Lake, Jordan River and Great Salt Lake is conducted in conjunction with private partners and the Division of Water Quality. Research is performed by researchers and staff employed by WFWQC and by contractors including universities and consulting firms. As always, completed research tends to identify additional needed research which is prioritized to insure the most important projects are completed first.
Our Story
Our Research
The Wasatch Front Water Quality Council was initially formed to improve the quality and accuracy of the Jordan River Total Maximum Daily Load analysis and to improve the understanding of Farmington Bay in Great Salt Lake. Later Utah Lake was added to the research scope of work in response to a need to understand how that lake functions. Research will continue on this ecosystem into the future.
