How Low Can the Great Salt Lake Go?

from KSL News Daily

The Great Salt Lake is still falling, now sitting just inches above its 2021 low and nearly two feet above the all-time record set in 2022. Andrew Adams talks with KSL NewsRadio reporter Adam Small about what happens when the lake reaches 4,190 feet, why another record-dry winter could make a new low unavoidable in 2027 and the enormous gap between Utah’s current conservation gains and the water needed to restore the lake to a healthy level by the 2034 Winter Olympics. Plus, students head back to school in Beaver and Washington counties as Beaver-area communities continue dealing with the effects of wildfire and flooding. Isaiah Vaughn Pulu returns to court on three murder charges tied to the carbon monoxide deaths of three men with disabilities, the community answers Weber County Animal Services’ urgent call for kitten supplies and a nonprofit project honors more than 530 pioneers and early settlers buried in unmarked graves at the Salt Lake City Cemetery.
