The Jordan River Flow Restoration project focuses on Environmental Water Transactions (EWTs) as an important conservation tool for restoring and maintaining flow in the Jordan River, and water delivery infrastructure improvement projects. The project focuses on Farmington Bay of Great Salt Lake in Utah. Water transaction efforts in this section of the Jordan River are year-round industrial and municipal water rights.

Great Salt Lake-Ogden Bay Wetland Enhancement
The Great Salt Lake Ogden Bay Water Transaction Project will facilitate a permanent acquisition of 110-acre feet of water rights to enhance freshwater inflows to Ogden Bay Waterfowl Management Area to benefit wetland habitat and Great Salt Lake water supply.
The project is a partnership between the Utah Division of Wildlife, Audubon, and The Nature Conservancy. The project links with and supports the newly chartered Great Salt Lake Watershed Trust’s overall mission and objectives of retaining and enhancing water flows to the Great Salt Lake as well as preserving hydrologic connections along the shores of the lake and preserving wetlands.
