CATTAIL DECLINE AT FARMINGTON BAY WATERFOWL MANAGEMENT AREA

In June of 1975, when I was doing my research near the Great Salt Lake on the decline of cattails, the Great Salt Lake water level was 4201.3 feet (U.S. Geological Survey). As of today (October 24, 2022), the water level is 4,185.6. https://www.usgs.gov/centers/utah-water-science-center/science/great-salt-lake-elevations
The link below will take you to a summary article on inland water changes that have occurred because of climate change. Included with the summary article, is a link to a PDF of the cover article that can be downloaded. Along with world-wide inland water problems caused by drought, the water levels of the Great Salt Lake are described. Also included, in the PDF, are stunning photographs of the Great Salt Lake's environmental and ecosystem changes. One photograph of a thunderstorm shows how harmful dust can be spread into the air.
