There are currently only four dust monitoring sites at the Great Salt Lake, but “we need better data,” says the director of Utah’s Department of Environmental Quality.

Todo lo que ganó el Gran Lago Salado durante el invierno probablemente se disipará para finales del verano. El comisionado del Great Salt Lake, Brian Steed, insta a los habitantes de Utah a ser conscientes del uso que hacen del agua.

There are more than 800 square miles of exposed lakebed, and researchers are just beginning to understand how pervasive the dust problem is.

All of the gains the Great Salt Lake made over the winter will likely dissipate by the end of summer. Great Salt Lake Commissioner Brian Steed urges Utahns to be mindful of their water usage.

Water levels in the Great Salt Lake are still below healthy levels, while many reservoirs around the state are full or near full. A resident at this year’s Sailfest wondered why they don’t send that water to the lake.
