Utah Board of Water Resources

The Utah Board of Water Resources is comprised of eight appointed individuals who represent the eight river districts in the State of Utah.  The board has specific powers and duties which include approving projects, administering funding, contracting with agencies at the local, state, and federal levels to create studies on development and conservation, and working closely with water conservancy districts and the Utah Water Users Association to ensure the state is conserving and properly utilizing Utah’s water.  

The Board meets every 45 days or so to discuss the above-mentioned projects and studies that need approval, committal of funds, and updates on developments and changes on these projects.  The meetings can be watched online and notice of upcoming meetings can be found on the Public Notice Website.  Most meetings are held at the Department of Natural Resources, 1594 W.
