: the Salt Lake is becoming less Great all the time. If things don’t change soon enough, the most populated part of the state will face toxic dust clouds and a loss of lake effect snows, which will further dry the place out.isn’t the most popular publication around, I do know that many, many other news outlets and scientific groups have been warning the state about its water issues.
So, the state decided to take action. They spent millions building a pumping station to remove water from the lake and into an adjacent dry basin for evaporation. This started to lower the levels a bit, but then the natural runoff from the mountains reduced and people used more water, and lake levels lowered to safer levels. But, the water kept getting lower. And lower. And lower.
First off, there’s the problem of the dust in the bottom of the basin. Once it dries up, it’s easy for winds to pick it up and carry it into the cities and mountains., you can see the dried up remnants of prehistoric Lake Bonneville doing exactly this. While parts of the state near the dried up parts of the bigger ice age lake get dust, they don’t get the other things that come from drying up a lake that has coexisted with industry and widespread agriculture. Fertilizers, arsenic, and many other things people don’t want in their lungs will all end up in the air.
In the short film, a man tries to take a shortcut through the desert, and gets stranded when his car breaks down. He comes across an abandoned town and sees a little well. He doesn’t get any water when he tries to pump it, but finds a note explaining that you can get the leather seal of the well working and then get water if you first pour some water into it. The note tells the guy where to find a bottle of water to do just that.
