Water is a highly valued commodity in Utah. The state is second only to Nevada for the dubious honor of the least amount of annual rainfall at a meager 13 inches of precipitation per year. Irrigation and water management has been an essential part of life in this section of North America for hundreds of years. Simple irrigation canals have been discovered in this area that date back to prehistoric times, well before the discovery of the “New World.” While the practice of water management has advanced with technology, the concepts behind it remain very much the same: conserve and manage the water supply while serving the people, agriculture and industry.
That management includes providing and maintaining the proper infrastructure to handle the job. That also means replacing it when it becomes old, deteriorated or outdated. That was the situation recently in Ogden, UT. Underground Construction, July 2006.
