Study reveals pristine Utah watersheds free of harmful contaminants
The article describes two small watersheds in Utah's Wasatch Mountains, focusing on their climate, geology, soils, and vegetation. The researchers studied precipitation, soil-water use, evapotranspiration, and streamflow to understand these catchments. The data collected will help calibrate the watersheds for future treatments. The drainage system of both watersheds has a main channel with intermittent side branches. The water sampled did not contain certain elements like Aluminum, Arsenic, Lead, and Mercury.
