Booming Utah's Weak Link: Surging Air Pollution - The New York Times

Megadrought brings Great Salt Lake water levels to all-time low… with no end in sight – NaturalNews.com

Utah's Fabled Great Salt Lake Is Shrinking

Utah s Great Salt Lake is a remnant of prehistoric freshwater Lake Bonneville, which once covered much of western Utah. It s the largest saltwater lake in the Western Hemisphere, and one of the saltiest bodies of water in the world. MaxPixel (CCO Public Domain) In the hot summer of 2021, one of America s most spectacular lakes has been in the news and the reason for that is not good. Salt Lake City, Utah, is just a short road trip away from its natural namesake, a large body of water known as the Great Salt Lake, or the GSL. Filled with around 4.5 to 4.9 billion tons (4 to 4.4 billion metric tons) of dissolved salt, the lake has certain areas that are roughly 10 times saltier than the ocean.

Megadrought Dries Up America's 'Dead Sea' Releasing Arsenic Off Lakes

Utah s Great Salt Lake is reaching a historically low level of water, which impacts greatly as a threat for hundreds of species including humans. As the rate of global warming rises faster, a megadrought is expected to continue relentlessly in western US states which forces regions to declare states of emergency. This includes exacerbating wildfires that have been going on for months. (Photo : Photo by Brent Pace on Unsplash) The Utah drought had dried up America s Dead Sea , nearly nine feet lower water level than the long-term average of the lake. As the largest salt water body in the western hemisphere, this is rather concerning for scientists not just in an environmental sense, but the knock-on effects it imposes to human health, along with wildlife, as long as it persists for years.
