While things have been looking up for the Great Salt Lake recently, the body of water synonymous with the Beehive State began getting an extra boost Tuesday to quench its thirst.
DRAPER, Utah — While things have been looking up for the Great Salt Lake recently, the body of water synonymous with the Beehive State began getting an extra boost to quench its thirst.
"It was an innovative process that a lot of people came together to figure this out to be able to run this water this way," said Wade Tuft, water manager for the Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District. The water comes from the Deer Creek Reservoir, which is released into the Provo River, then makes its way into the Jordan River and eventually into the lake. In addition to being a benefit to the Great Salt Lake, it will increase storage room at the reservoir for possible flooding after the extraordinary winter snowfall.
