200+ leaders. One goal: a resilient water future for Utah. At the Utah Blue Industry Summit — co-hosted by Great Salt Lake Alliance, Sorenson Impact Institute & Sorenson Impact Foundation — Sen. John Curtis urged us to tap into Utah's roots, be courageous, and think big. #gsl

Meet the water thief of Great Salt Lake: an invasive plant called Phragmites, quietly pulling water from the lake’s wetlands. The good news — removal efforts have cut its cover on Utah Lake by 88% so far.

Agriculture uses ~80% of Utah’s diverted water, often framed as a problem. Tony Richards of the @utahdepartment of ag calls it an opportunity: efficiency gains on one field can free up water to help the Great Salt Lake.

179 years ago, pioneers crested this valley and wondered at a lake they didn’t understand. We still do. Happy Pioneer Day — look west today. 💙 #LoveTheLake #Pioneerday #utah #greatsaltlake

Ever wonder how water actually makes its way to the Great Salt Lake?

Saving water by using less doesn’t always mean more reaches the lake, unused water often flows downstream and gets used elsewhere.

🌫️ If you’re noticing ash falling from the sky across parts of Salt Lake County this afternoon, you’re not imagining it.

Several new wildfires are burning in central Utah today, and strong southerly winds are carrying smoke and ash into northern Utah. Air quality and visibility may continue to fluctuate through the evening as the smoke moves north.

Are you seeing ash where you are?

#GreatSaltLake’s future won’t be shaped by blame, it will be shaped by innovation.

Solving #Utah’s water challenges will require new ideas, unlikely partnerships, and collabs across sectors. That’s where we see the greatest opportunity. https://t.co/zKXAyO4b2l #lovethelakeut

We’re proud to partner with Great Salt Lake Collaborative to support expanded public-interest reporting and community engagement around #GSL.

Participating newsrooms maintain full editorial independence while helping Utahns stay informed about the lake’s future. #utah

Yes, there’s freshwater trapped beneath parts of the Great Salt Lake. But according to @uofu prof Dr. Kip Solomon, accessing it is extremely difficult — and pumping too much could create serious environmental risks.

The Great Salt Lake in Utah is an incredible ecosystem that supports millions of migratory birds, drives billions in economic activity, and creates Utah's famous “Greatest Snow on Earth” through lake-effect storms.

But it also faces serious challenges, having shrunk to historic lows that threaten wildlife, air quality, and Utah's communities.

It's in such danger that in April, President Trump requested $1 billion in his 2027 budget to help revive the lake.

The Great Salt Lake is one of America’s greatest treasures, and we should work to help it to flourish once again.
