It takes 325,851 gallons of water for 1 Acre foot of water. The great Salt Lake is a little over 1 million square acres. So, to raise the lake a single foot will require approximately 325.851 billion gallons of water. If we are releasing "a few billion gallons per day" ( I always understood a few = 3 or so) then we would need to keep this going for about 3.5 months to raise the lake a single foot. This is why people are saying it's not enough. Because it isn't.
@@travisritzman6772 Not sure why that is a question. It has risen 4 feet because the lake has received a little over 1 Trillion gallons of water. Much of that falling directly from storms.

@@dfinlen Not a scientist are you? The problem isn't the amount of water you can shove through a desalinator, it's not even nuclear waste, if you use Thorium.

They need to build a tunnel from the Snake River to the GSL. It's about 70 miles, so we've done that before. The NYC aqueduct is ~100 miles long and the Arizona one is 336 miles long. When the Snake River is flooding you can divert water to the GSL to reduce the flooding along the Snake River.
the closest points between the two are very similar in elevation as well, leading to what theoretically would be a somewhat easily managed system that could be highly beneficial for the entire western US
That's what people thought when they built aqueducts from the Colorado River to LA. That's become a problem. The Snake also feeds the Columbia River. Oregon and Washington are getting drier and will need that water as well. It's a nice idea but a project that large could have a lot of big unintended consequences.
Yet you have people like Elon musk complaining that lack of human population growth is unsustainable. Make that make sense to me. Less people is a good thing!!
I am not american but i have seen videos of that Salton lake in California . I think this lake is in Utah I’m guessing. Nevertheless i am wondering if all this excess water in the Californian reservoirs could not dump or pump the excess over into that Salton lake to help save it , or flush it or whatever as it has lost so much water over the last few decades. Just saying all this would be a place they could redirect the excess and may be do something good with it and avoid flooding? May be it’s not that simple and I’m talking crap but suddenly you have got all this over load of water and that Salton Sea needs a drink bad.
Still need to conserve and up your water bill for our revenue. It's gullible warming people don't pay attention to all the 15 minute cities we are developing.
Alfalfa farms and other water intensive ag are the biggest users by a lot. Typical consumers can't conserve their way out of the water shortage issues.
Midi is right. Household/yard use accounts for about 10% of water use, agriculture for about 80%. If we can get farmers to switch away from alfalfa and field flooding and sprinklers, we'd save a lot of water.
When reservoirs are at maximum capacity there's only 2 years of supply.... that there is not good enough especially with an expanding population/city. Good luck.
Just do to the GSL what California did to Lake Tulare and get rid of it. We don't need lakes anyway. They're a waste of prime real-estate for condos, apartments, and WalMart stores.
The fact that California has dumped billions into the fast rail track that’s not even 40% done but hasn’t started making more reservoirs until last year is a complete failure.
Seriously? When will they let this drought go? Do we need to flood for a decade? It’s always a good idea to conserve in a desert (Utah is the second driest state next to Nevada) but we can’t keep talking like there is always an emergency. Nature will do its thing, there’s not much we can do about it. All this “save the GSL” sounds like it will come at the expense of human lives.

We have several of those, but only the Salt lake effects the weather patterns to trap more snow here in the first place. Look up the lake effect, it's pretty important.
My question is, why dump this water into the great salt lake if water is scarce? Why can’t this water somehow be directed into reservoirs? We can’t drink or water crops with salty water! It seems they are more concerned about wildlife like birds, than the millions of people who live in Utah! This sounds like something California has done over & over again with denying water rights to farmers because of some inedible fish back in the mid 90’s. Birds & other animals will migrate to other places for food and water if the salt lake suffers temporarily. The last I heard was this water going to the great salt lake is to be used to able to extract minerals from the salt lake for rechargeable electric car batteries , then sending these minerals off to China for the batteries to be manufactured.
Are you familiar with the lake effect? The great Salt lake is large enough to literally change weather patterns. When it's larger, it changes weather so the mountains get more snow. With no lake, we have no lake effect, and no snow means no drinking water. The lake bed is also full of toxic heavy metals, so unless you enjoy breathing arsenic every time there is a windstorm, it's best the lake stays large.
@@cbpd89 I am it’s catch 22. I just hope they wisely consider how much they want to take away from the run off to go to the great salt lake instead of our reservoirs. It’s a tough call!
