U.S. lawmakers work to solve problem of disappearing Great Salt Lake
The Great Salt Lake hit a record low this year, but it’s not the only salty lake that’s drying up. Utah Rep. Blake Moore, a Republican, teamed up with California’s Rep. Jared Huffman to introduce the “Saline Lake Ecosystems in the Great Basin States Program Act” last week. The bipartisan legislation … would authorize $25 million over five years for the program, during a critical period where climate change is accelerating their decline….Moore’s bill would also attempt to rescue saline waters such as Oregon’s Lake Albert, Nevada’s Lahontan Wetlands and California’s Salton Sea and Mono Lake.
