Have you seen our new lake tracker?
Great Salt Lake sits at just 29.7% full, compared with the lake’s natural volume at 4,207 feet. More than 57% (1,227.5 square miles) of the lakebed is exposed, and only 26% of the lake’s natural area is within the healthy salinity range that supports the lake’s ecology.
The lake tracker puts the reality of Great Salt Lake’s decline in front of thousands of Utahns every day

As of today, Great Salt Lake is only 30% full, compared to the lake volume at its natural elevation of 4,207 feet. More than half of the lakebed (56.9%, or 1124.1 square miles) is now exposed.
Great Salt Lake is once again approaching its historic low, reached in November 2022. The gains from a year of strong snowpack are long gone, and the situation is more urgent than ever. We cannot rely on a good snow year to reverse the lake’s long-term decline. Great Salt lake will only recover if we make it a political and public priority.

Have you seen @GovCox highlight Great Salt Lake in his interview with @jonstewart?
The lake remains dangerously low (just 30% full), and the window to restore it is narrowing. The decisions we make now will determine whether Great Salt Lake recovers, or continues toward ecological collapse.

$1 billion in funds from the Fed would be an astronomical boost for GSL, but there's an ongoing debate about water augmentation vs. conservation that needs attention. Augmentation = finding water from elsewhere; Conservation = using less water
The entire Western United States is in drought. If $1 billion is spent on augmentation, such as a pipeline from another water source, that's a $1 billion band-aid that will inevitably fall off the wound.
Only by addressing the root cause of this environmental crisis can we safeguard GSL and future generations, which means reducing our water consumption so it's in balance with our desert ecosystem. Conservation, not augmentation, is the only path forward. sltrib.com/news/politics/202…
For those who haven't seen it, the University of Utah's Great Salt Lake Project and Grow The Flow released a 2026 GSL Policy Guide to give some context to the current legislative session. What are some of the key take aways?
3. Top bills that prioritize water conservation include H.B. 155 and 128, both sponsored by @DougOwensUtah, and H.B. 328, sponsored by @clintokerlund
These lawmakers are doing great work on behalf of Utah residents. Read the whole report here to learn more law.utah.edu/wp-content/uplo…
Big news! 🎬 The Great Salt Lake hits the big screen at Sundance. For two years, filmmakers followed GTF Executive Director @thermokarst, @briansteed1, and others on the front lines of the fight to save GSL. Watch THE LAKE starting Jan. 2 in Park City. festival.sundance.org/progra…
