New underground pipelines, which replaced open-channel canals in the Duchesne River area of northeastern Utah, provided the necessary water pressure for local farmers in this arid region to switch to sprinkler irrigation systems. The new pipelines and sprinkler irrigation systems greatly reduced the amount of water previously lost to canal seepage and inefficient flood irrigation. The new pipelines and sprinkler irrigation systems, however, could be easily damaged or clogged by debris and sediment carried in the water. Self-operating, low-maintenance, and low-cost pipeline inlet facilities had to be designed to remove sediment and debris from river water prior to its entering each new canal pipeline. The unique inlet facility designed for the new Tabby Canal pipeline has been operating successfully for four years. It was relatively inexpensive to construct, is completely self-operating, and requires much less maintenance than mechanical inlet facilities. It has functioned so well that there have been no reports of any pipeline or sprinkler damage from water-carried sediment or debris.

The ground-water hydrology of Panguitch Valley and adjacent areas, south- central Utah, was studied during 1988-90. One objective of the study was to measure ground-water recharge from infiltration of unconsumed irrigation water. Water-level and soil-moisture data were used to estimate travel times for water moving down through the soil profile, and to compare quantities of water reaching the water table after application of flood and sprinkler irrigation. During this study, estimates of travel times from land surface to the water table ranged from 11 days in June 1989 to 2 days in September 1989. Estimates of irrigation water recharging the ground-water system ranged from 25 to 75 percent of the water applied to the flood-irrigated field. Virtually no recharge was apparent for the sprinkler-irrigated field.
