I’ve read on CB that agriculture uses more water than people/subdivisions in northern Utah. That doesn’t seem plausible.

Only 6 percent goes to residential lawn and gardens. 4 percent indoors.

The reclamation water for urban usage is more efficient than agricultural usage.

All water in the state is accounted for, and the Wasatch Front is fully
