Climate change is taking a toll on Utah's Great Salt Lake, rendering it “a puddle of its former self,” according to a new report published in the Salt Lake Tribune.. Despite still being ...
This pumping project was designed to increase the surface area of the Great Salt Lake and thus increase the rate of water evaporation.

A weir in the dike at the southern end of the ...

At its lowest recorded water levels, it approaches 7.7 times the salinity of ocean water, but when its levels are high, its salinity drops to only slightly higher than that of the ocean.
