Segment from The Future of the Great Salt Lake, The Wallace Stegner Center for Land, Resources and the Environment 28th Annual Symposium (March 16-17, 2023)
The Great Salt Lake ecosystem is on the verge of collapse due to unsustainably-large water diversions, the ongoing megadrought, and climate change. Plummeting lake levels will result in a cascade of economic, ecological, and human health problems which could cost the State of Utah billions of dollars annually if no action is taken. One consequence of particular concern to the public is the potential for exposure to arsenic-laden dust emanating from the exposed portions of the Great Salt Lake lakebed.
