How about quit building houses on the West side of the lake....done

I've been tucked away in Sugar house for 8 years. One day I drove through that

I'm still kicking myself for not buying 1000 acres or so over there...I'd be CB

Where else are they supposed to be built?

Texas

If you understood the infrastructure issues in the area you'd say stop building

There are these things called humans inhabiting the world. More all the time

southernfriedcougar

3/20/17 10:22pm

There's this thing called water...and the last few years the area is running out

Don_Juan_El_Guapo

3/20/17 10:29pm

It's not as bad as you are thinking it is. Nothing that other booming Utah areas haven't dealt with before.

cougarnerd

It actually is. The guy who buys water rights is a friend. It could get bad

Meh. Not impressed.

Sounds affordable

Fill it with dirt and it will move north and flood slc

all you have to do to accomplish that is blow up the dam in Lehi

What dam would that be?

BYU Grounds

3/21/17 10:07am

there is a small control dam on the Jordan River that regulates how much water

LOL, "Build roads for more Houses for more people for more cars

Downtown

3/20/17 10:11pm

Better solution...actually do some city planning.

Downtown

3/20/17 10:15pm

As beautiful as Europe? Riiiight.

Kerbouchard

3/20/17 10:17pm

Depends on what part of Europe.

chilango

3/20/17 10:19pm

Ask Europeans where they think the most beautiful place is.

Downtown

3/20/17 10:30pm

And the answer won't be Utah County, that's for sure.

Kerbouchard

3/20/17 10:49pm

Comparing a 2,000 square mile county to a continent...

Caboom

3/20/17 10:41pm

Yes, lame comparison. As beautiful as parts of arid southern Spain? Sure.

Kerbouchard

3/20/17 10:51pm

Yeah, that's what I meant...actually I meant Kauai

Downtown

3/20/17 10:52pm

yes, Kauai is as beautiful as certain parts of Europe.

Kerbouchard

3/21/17 7:10am

I wouldn't mind exploring an option to dredge the bottom and deepen the lake

3/20/17 10:14pm

The real problem is when the early pioneers brought carp.

Downtown

3/20/17 10:16pm

yep, gotta get rid of the carp that forage off of all the underwater vegetation

gmj81

Here is a cool video. Just watch the first 90 seconds:

Brisco

3/20/17 11:45pm

Just blow it up. That'll kill all the carp.

Texas Hammer

3/21/17 5:14pm

If Utah Lake (and connecting canals, etc.) was magically free of carp right now...

Brisco

3/20/17 11:53pm

Just image a nice, clean Utah Lake. That would be a real boon to the area.

mudpupper

3/21/17 8:23am

If the lake was half the size but twice as deep it would be a real boon to Utah

HootnHoller

3/21/17 8:48am

If they only filled Provo and Goshen Bay, it would be an improvement...

gmj81

As far as lakes go, it's pretty ugly.

Its really not though. If you are any distance away its generally fine

Why is that in quotes? Are you quoting yourself?

Martin Van Nostrand

The Russians.

Kerbouchard

3/20/17 10:51pm

Because. No.

Turn it into a wiper and pike fishery. The June sucker is toast regardless.

No thanks.

That sounds like it would really help inversion.

Can't wait for all those dust storms in summer. We can be Phoenix.

^^This^^ - the local climate would be changed, and not in a good way.

Just poison all the fish and start over again with new fish and no carp

Can't....June Sucker is a protected species

Might be easier to catch as many June suckers as possible and then poison the

Maybe Trump would allow it

The trout are gone for good unfortunately. And there is already a captive

Backcountry

There isn't enough poison in the world to make that work
