About this episode

The episode discusses the current state of Great Salt Lake and the potential impact of federal funding on its recovery.

Great Salt Lake normally doesn’t reach peak water level until late May. But after a record-low snowpack, the lake has already topped out, and experts warn it will likely brush up against its own record low. Could a sizable influx of federal dollars help save it?
