The status of utah's waterbodies

The results of Utah's assessment monitoring program are compiled every two years in an "Integrated Report" that summarizes the status of Utah's waters.  - Integrated Report, Current 2016

​EPA provides a summary of Utah's Water Quality Assessment results.
Also, check out How's My Waterway?

In 2010, a team of USU Researchers conducted a review of Utah's 319 NPS Program. An executive summary of their final report summarizes the review of the program itself and provides a set of conclusions about the effectiveness of Utah's implementation of Best Management Practices. Part II of this approach provides detailed results on this assessment of Best Management Practices.  
​
The results of a full assessment of the effectiveness of watershed-wide project on the Little Bear River is included in a book published by the Soil and Water Conservation Society ("How to Build Better Agricultural Conservation Programs to Protect Water Quality", Meals et al., 2012. 358-372.)
