A new study in Environmental Challenges finds the Great Salt Lake has lost over 15 billion cubic yards of water over 30 years, mainly due to agricultural water diversions, mostly for alfalfa and hay.
To stabilize the lake, researchers propose reducing human water consumption by 35% in the watershed, which includes cutting back on irrigated crops and compensating affected farmers.
