Introduction

Projected population growth, increased water diversions, water quality, predicted trends in climate change, and increased industrialization on the lake are compelling reasons to consider a “conservation pool” for Great Salt Lake. It’s time to start asking the hard questions about how much water is needed to maintain the ecological integrity of the lake and sustain the delivery of ecosystem services. The goal of the 2010 GSL Issues Forum is to begin a process. A process that focuses our attention on the future of the lake and how water fits into that picture.
