SALT LAKE CITY — Farmers, private landowners, mineral extraction specialists, hunters, anglers and water managers are among a group of people joining a trust to work on improving water flows to the Great Salt Lake, state land managers said Tuesday.
The measure is considered one of the last steps needed to move forward with projects that get water to the drying lake, according to the Utah Division of Division Forestry, Fire and State Lands. The division named nine members to a new state advisory council for the Great Salt Lake Watershed Enhancement Trust, all of whom have different backgrounds that could be impacted by the drying lake.
