State Canal Dam-Burnham Dam: Farmington Bay Waterfowl Management Area

Purpose: Restoring critical water management infrastructure including replacing the dam on State Canal, which provides 90% of all water inflows into Farmington Bay WMA, and the Burnham Dam which splits the Jordan River between New State Duck Club and Farmington Bay WMA.

Benefits: Replacing this critical water management infrastructure on the Jordan River watershed helps ensure the long-term ecological resiliency of Great Salt Lake.
