ICYMI: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has agreed to donate 5,700 water shares that will send more than 20,000 acre-feet of water to the struggling Great Salt Lake every year.
Donations could help chip away at that significant deficit, especially since researchers note that consumption accounts for at least two-thirds of the lake's decline.

With the donation announced Wednesday, more than 20,000 acre-feet of water will be sent to the lake. "The Great Salt Lake and the ecosystem that depends on it are so important," said Bishop W. Christopher Waddell, the first counselor in the Presiding Bishopric of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in a statement.
The Utah Legislature formed the Great Salt Lake Watershed Enhancement Trust last year. The newly formed trustafter its advisory council was formed. Marcelle Shoop, the trust's executive director, called the new donation an "exceptional contribution" toward the goal of refilling the lake.
