Second, the diversion of water for (mostly) agricultural purposes has greatly affected the Great Salt Lake. Less inflow leads to more dust! My former colleage @USU_WATS, @DrSarahNull, has a terrific piece about this problem, which is occuring worldwide.

@robwdavis is also right: It's not just Lake Abert. The Great Salt Lake, Walker Lake, and the salares of the Central Andes. They are all going dry. It's not just birds and invertebrates that depend on these lakes, either. Local human economies do too. http
Wurtsbaugh et al. describe many of the world‘s saline lakes as “shrinking at alarming rates”, noting also ”a tendency to invoke 'climate change' as the culprit ... without fully understanding all of the hydrological balances”. https://t.co/eETM1eJ6f1.

@WSchwanghart @MATLAB Nice! Interested in a global validation? There are a few interesting endorheic drainage basin global estimates that I suspect are highly scale dependent (i.e. miss a lot of smaller scale basins), e.g.: https://t.co/qyWb2lyNnV https://

Many of the world's saline lakes have been shrinking due to consumptive water use & threaten human health. The Great Salt Lake, USA, provides an example for how the health of & ecosystem services provided by saline lakes can be sustained. #planetar
