AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Hidden Water in the Wasatch: New University of Utah research using ultra-precise gravity mapping finds the Timpanogos Rock Glacier holds about 1.5 million cubic meters of frozen water—roughly 600 Olympic pools—highlighting how much Utah’s mountain ice is buried under debris. Wildlife Under Pressure: Utah Division of Wildlife Resources says drought and food-supply shocks have driven black bear incidents to 168 statewide so far in 2026—double last year—with bears increasingly showing up in cities; officials also report a cub euthanized after it wandered near a central Utah school. Drought Update: Utah water officials report 100% of the state in some form of drought and reservoir storage at 52%, with levels expected to keep dropping until October. Fire Watch: The Brushy Canyon Fire in Box Elder County is estimated at 8,000 acres and 0% contained amid extreme winds, with crews working to secure the perimeter. Conservation on the Weber River: Summit County is buying 10 parcels totaling 9.82 acres near Oakley’s Weber River to expand trail connectivity while protecting the land from development. Community Water Quality: Mayors across the Jordan River watershed launch the “Love Your Watershed” challenge, urging residents to stop litter and pollutants from washing into storm drains.
