When the Mormon Pioneers first arrived in Utah, they dug irrigation canals from mountain streams and small rivers found in the area to irrigate their crops. Ideally, there were four family farms per square block, and each farm had a small headgate to dam up the canal and flood their field to water it. These irrigation canals are still seen along the side of the road in many historic towns in Utah. Some are still in use, and others have been replaced by modern sprinkling systems.
