Abstract: How Might Great Salt Lake React to Future Demands on Water Resources Upstream?
The Great Salt Lake accumulates the effects of water use and depletions of an ever expanding human population within its basin which includes the largest part of the population of Utah. How do various human activities influence the lake’s elevation? What are the activities that have the most impact? With all the changes likely to happen in the next fifty years, how might the elevation of the Great Salt Lake be affected? How have the activities of man affected the lake up till now? This presentation will attempt to answer these questions and explain the issues which affect the flow of water into Utah’s most famous water body.
