Abstract

The shrinking GSL is a problem that has received a lot of attention in Utah, and around the country. It has been selected as one of the I-GUIDE convergence catalyst problems to bring multidisciplinary convergence focus to it. This presentation reviews the problem, showing data on the shrinking GSL and associated climate and hydrology. It provides a historical context and describes what we know about how GSL as a terminal lake responds to drivers, specifically streamflow and climate. It examines water use and what we know about how human consumptive water use depletes streamflow into the lake, and the consequences. It ends with discussion of some solutions that are being pursued, describing where additional research could help and where I-GUIDE could be more involved.
