The Great Salt Lake is currently grappling with historically low water levels despite recent snowfall in Utah. The state's snowpack remains critically low, with only a minimal chance of reaching normal levels this year. This alarming situation directly threatens the already diminished water levels of the Great Salt Lake, which is currently less than 36% full. The lake heavily relies on late-season runoff from snowmelt to replenish its water supply, and with the snowpack near minimum levels, the lake is struggling to maintain its volume, resulting in over 1,100 square miles of exposed lakebed.
