As a Utahn, I’m much more concerned about the Great Salt Lake. It’s currently experiencing an ecosystem collapse and the dry lakebed is full of arsenic that pollutes the air.



I read something in the last few months about it may only have a few years left and was amazed.

My family visited once when I was quite young. To think it would be gone so soon is kind of crazy.

It’s not like Lake Mead disappeared in 3 years. It’s been in trouble for a long time.

Maybe I just don’t know about the Great Salt Lake’s recent history because I don’t live near by.


Sadly, I doubt that the local government has any real desire to take tangible steps. (There is also a huge conflict of interest...)
