The Great Salt Lake is an iconic and beloved feature of the Utah landscape. For years, its water levels have been dropping, leading to a decrease in the lake’s size and a decrease in the recreational opportunities it provides. But now, thanks to an executive order from Governor Spencer Cox, the Great Salt Lake’s water levels may be on the rise.

Governor Cox recently issued an executive order that is aimed at increasing the water levels in the Great Salt Lake. The order directs state agencies to take steps to reduce the amount of water being diverted from the lake, and to increase the amount of water being returned to the lake. It also directs the state to take steps to reduce the amount of evaporation from the lake.

The order is a welcome development for those who have been concerned about the declining water levels in the Great Salt Lake. The lake’s water levels have been dropping for decades, due to a combination of factors, including agricultural and urban water use, climate change, and the construction of dams and other water-diversion projects. The lake’s water levels have dropped so low that some areas of the lake’s shoreline have been exposed, leading to a decrease in the lake’s recreational and economic value.

The executive order is an important step in the right direction. It is an acknowledgement by the state of the importance of the Great Salt Lake, and a commitment to taking action to ensure that the lake’s water levels are maintained. It is also an acknowledgement of the importance of the lake to the local economy and to recreational activities.

The executive order is only the first step, however. It is now up to state agencies to implement the order’s directives and to take additional steps to ensure that the Great Salt Lake’s water levels are maintained. It is also up to the public to support the efforts of the state and to help protect the lake and its resources.
