Data columnist Andy Larsen tells us to expect a good amount of water down in Southeastern Utah, but it won’t be the highest in history.
Catch basins are designed to catch debris along Salt Lake City's City Creek on Monday, April 10, 2023. Salt Lake City Public Utilities representatives maintain that carefully planned upgrades in this kind of infrastructure will aid in flooding prevention as temperatures rise.One fun aspect of this data column is the ability to bounce to whatever the topic du jour is — after all, there’s not much that can’t be looked at analytically to at least some degree.
We look even more poised for record-setting streamflows in Big Cottonwood Creek — we’ll dig into that in a second. In Little Cottonwood Creek, there’s about a 50/50 chance we set a new record in the total amount of water that will pass through — though reaching flood stage is currently not considered likely.
First of all, here’s the chart of this season’s snowpack up at Brighton, at the head of the Big Cottonwood. The blue line is 2023′s snowpack levels, the green line is 2022, while the purple line is the median of the last 30 years of snowpack. • At 861 cubic feet per second, moderate flooding will occur in Murray Park and downstream areas of Big Cottonwood Creek. Many low lying residential areas along the river will receive flood damage.
But it turns out that that was an out-of-date estimate of flood flow. Since then, Salt Lake City and Salt Lake County have upgraded City Creek’s infrastructure so that it can contain way more water.
