Rescue Great Salt Lake with seawater from the Pacific? Utah lawmakers consider it
Utah lawmakers are giving serious thought to building a pipeline to the Pacific to move seawater to the shrinking Great Salt Lake.
Has anyone heard of this idea? It's a pipeline to replenish the lake with water from the Pacific Ocean.
At least Great Lakes' water in a pipe won’t kill vegetation ifit springs a leak.

The reason the lake is salty is because it has no outlet other than evaporation, so all the minerals accumulate. The reason the water level is so low is due to population growth and increased usage of water from the lake's tributaries. The idea of a pipeline from the ocean is that it would keep the lake at a safe level, while allowing the city to use freshwater from the tributaries. It's not an outlandish idea at all. We have oil and gas pipelines everywhere. Why not have one for water?
