Utah’s Great Salt Lake Faces Drought Crisis, Threatening Ecological and Economic Disaster
Utah’s Great Salt Lake dropped to its lowest recorded level this month amid a two-decade drought, a grim milestone as researchers and politicians point to grave threats to wildlife and people along its receding shores.
