/ A view of a field near the proposed site for the Cove Reservoir in Kane County. Seven environmental groups are calling for an investigation into the proposed Cove Reservoir in Kane County. The project’s planners say it will dam the East Fork of the Virgin River for agricultural use in Kane and Washington Counties. But environmental groups claim that’s misleading. Zach Frankel, executive director of the Utah Rivers Council, said in surveying the land, his group found the water will be used in a developing, municipal area. “What’s in this agricultural area are a number of subdivisions, that's not an agricultural purpose,” Frankel said in a press conference Tuesday. “It's not OK to pretend like this is [for] agriculture when it is not.”
