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. It kind of gives you a new appreciation for mother nature's ability to move water. Plus, from the article we are talking about a few billion gallons a day of new water flow into the GSL. There were already existing flows. We are just adding to it. I was merely pointing out the extra efforts we are making are great, but in the end, it won't make that much of a difference.

I’d bet you next year we will be back into a drought seeing the reason re got all this rain and snow was due to a volcano eruption back in January. It released a bunch of water vapor into the troposphere which shifted the jet stream. Making the weather patters change. So therefor we probably will see continue drought

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.

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.
