In other words, the depth of Utah Lake would increase by how much?

What is your guess?

I wonder what the shoreline would extend to in that scenario.

At least Riverton and Draper could water all their lawns as much as they want.

In reality, Utah Lakes top level is governed by how much they put into the Jorda

I still remember the "shore lines" from the flooding in 1983. It was crazy watching center street

Deer Creek holds 152,570 acre feet of water. The surface area of Utah lake

I would guess maybe 6 inches. Deer Creek is tiny compared to Utah Lake.

The Utah Geological Survey estimated that it would rise by 8 inches maximum.

If you consider being off by 33% "close".

They've got a map of the floodplain at the Provo Library...
