Protecting Water Quality through Monitoring, Research, Education and Restoration

The Provo River Watershed Council is a coalition of local, state and federal government agencies, water districts, and private organizations dedicated to protecting the water quality in the Provo River Watershed.  First formed in 1981 as the Jordanelle Technical Advisory Committee (JTAC), today it is the Provo River Watershed Council and takes pride in supporting the ecosystems and communities of this grand watershed through monitoring, research, education, and restoration.
 

History

The Jordanelle Reservoir Water Quality Technical Advisory Committee (JTAC) was formed in 1981 with the purpose of developing a reservoir management plan for Deer Creek and Jordanelle Reservoir. JTAC was created with the representation of over twenty federal, state, and local agencies as well as private companies.

The Water Quality Management Plan for these reservoirs was finalized in 1984 and directs JTAC to conduct a water-sampling program that monitors the condition of water quality throughout the year. It also requires that the resulting data be analyzed and presented in an annual report.

Mission & Goals

Promote and support Watershed best management practices to ensure high quality water for all users and to meet designated beneficial uses in the Provo River Watershed.
