Evening sun on salt grass near the distant and vanishing waters of the Great Salt Lake. Salt mounds piled up in the near distance. Drought!


The Great Salt Lake is vanishing. Due to drought and poor irrigation practices the once massive lake is in danger of disappearing altogether. The lake is 5 times for salty than the ocean and the largest lake west of the Mississippi River ....but not for long.
