This petition demands that they allow at least 45 cubic feet per second to come down the last mile of the Provo River year-round and to leave this section of the river as it is now. This is enough water to satisfy the thousands of fishermen, the thousands of boaters, and the farmers who use the water for irrigation, and the landowners along the river who have the right to keep a portion of the river flowing. The Federal Government plans to spend 20-30 million dollars to divert the last mile of the Provo River to save the June Sucker fish. The Provo River Delta Project plans to divert all the water which will destroy this section of the river.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many people care about the river and its future. If we can reach that next milestone together, it will be much harder for officials to ignore our concerns.

I started this because I was worried about the river but the stories you are sharing in the comments prove that I am not the only one who feels this way. It is humbling to see how much this place means to all of you and I am just doing my best to make sure our concerns are actually heard.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many people care about the river and I never imagined this would get so much traction. If you know someone who loves these waters, please send this their way so we can hit that hundred mark together.

My family has fished these banks for years. Its a beautiful spot and ruining it for a diversion project is just plain wrong.

Keep the water flowing like it is. 30 million is a total waste of tax money just to move the river around.

The Provo is a staple here in utah. If they divert that last mile itll be a total disaster for everyone downstream. Please listen to us on this one.

This is ridiculous. People actually use that river for recreation and the farmers need those water rights. Dont destroy it.
