For the second time in less than a year, the iconic lake has already dropped to a new record low. The Great Salt Lake Recovery Act would ask for federal dollars to study historic droughts and identify solutions to revive the capital city’s namesake.
Great Salt Lake has caught the attention of Washington. Sen. Mitt Romney announced Thursday that he and fellow Republican Reps. Chris Stewart and Burgess Owens introduced a bill to preserve the Great Salt Lake.. The Great Salt Lake Recovery Act would ask for federal dollars to study historic droughts and identify solutions to revive the capital city’s namesake.
The legislation requests $10 million to develop a program that focuses on the conditions and water levels of saline lakes in the Great Basin. The goal is to keep other stakeholders up to date on the various ecosystems that call saline lakes home. “Watersheds don’t respect state or even country boundaries. Watersheds are about landscape,” Baxter said. “And in the case of Great Salt Lake, all the water in the watershed funnels towards that terminal lake. So, it’s like the bottom of the bathtub.”
