  1. Always important to reinforce - the lake doesn't care, the planet doesn't care, everything will remain fine for those... preservation, conservation, all these things are purely selfish human endeavors. The only thing that really happens in places like Great Salt Lake is if no action is taken, it'll dry up, and everyone who depends on it will have to move elsewhere, which is often a catastrophic event for all the people there. It'll be far more costly and far more disastrous for the country and for people to have to uproot and find some other place to live rather than just trying to change things to keep the lake going. Another reminder - everyone in the country pays for it, directly or indirectly - it's just a matter of how much. Conservation can be costly, but the lake drying up is exponentially worse, not only for the people living nearby which will pay the most and suffer the most, but for the entire country as a whole. And with Climate Change, this will obviously start happening everywhere over the years. That's what truly is at stake, it's just us, our survivability. Should we fail at efforts like this one, the planet will just keep going - without us. As it did in the past.
