Great Salt Lake Water Conservation Toolbox: Equipping Utah’s Cities with Strategies to Conserve Water
As one of the nation’s driest and fastest-growing states, Utah is currently facing significant challenges with a depleting Great Salt Lake (GSL). The GSL is the largest waterbody in the state and a vital ecological and economic resource for Utah. It provides habitat for a wide array of local and migratory bird species while also contributing at least $1.5 billion to the local economy from industrial and recreational activity. Beyond these ecological and economic benefits, the lake plays a critical role in generating precipitation over the GSL basin.
