The Beaver River is a river in western Utah, 110 мили (180 км) long, that drains to Sevier Lake via the Sevier River.[1]
Description[править]
The river starts in the Tushar Mountains, in eastern Beaver County near the town of Beaver, and flows for about 30 мили (48 км) west as a perennial stream, through the Beaver Valley to the Escalante Desert, where it turns north. The river then continues north for about 80 мили (130 км) as an ephemeral wash, past Milford into Millard County. Once it reaches the Sevier Desert south of Delta it turns west, joining the Sevier River and emptying into the intermittent, endorheic Sevier Lake.[1][5]
The Beaver River watershed drains about 2466 квадратной мили (6390 км2),[2] most of it desert. The human population is about 3500, mostly concentrated in the town of Beaver. The river is dammed for irrigation in its upper reaches by Rocky Ford Dam, forming Minersville Reservoir. A total of 84 000 акра (33 990 га) are farmed in the basin.[6]
