Monsoonal rain doesn't boost Utah's reservoirs quite like the state's snowpack, but state water officials say recent monsoonal moisture still has major benefits.
SALT LAKE CITY — Utah's monsoon season is slowly winding down, but not before leaving an impact on Utah's reservoirs in various ways.
These can also reduce the need to consume water, either for farms, ranches or lawns, which is one of the primary benefits of the monsoon season because irrigation uses are a "significant draw on reservoir resources," agency officials add. Utah Gov. Spencer Cox also noted last month that monsoonal rain boosted the state's soil moisture levels,"Monsoonal moisture may not have been a silver bullet for our reservoirs, but it has been a lifeline in reducing demand," said Candice Hasenyager, the director of the Division of Water Resources, in a statement. "It reminds us that nature plays an important role in our quest for resiliency, and reducing demand is the one lever we have to pull to secure our water future.
