Great Salt Lake        USA

Like a lot of things in the 80s,

the iconic landmark was at a historic high.

Over the last 36 years though

the West’s megadrought,

a changing climate and water diversions

have taken their toll.

In 2022,

the terminal lake hit a new low

as the rivers that feed it

increasingly serve Utah’s

burgeoning population.

lakes > Salson Sea        USA

The vast California lake

relies on runoff from cropland

to avoid disappearing.

But as farmers face water cuts due to drought

and an ever drier Colorado River,

the Salton Sea stands to lose again.
