In Utah, the Great Salt Lake has reached record low waterline levels and Lake Powell is drying up. The global rise in temperature certainly plays a role. But there is more to the story. Water diversions such as dams and pipeline projects, that aim to provide water to areas in need, also deplete our rivers and lakes. Understanding the pros and cons is essential to making decisions on whether we should dam our rivers and pipe water to communities far from the source. Zach Frankel presents a few water projects and potential consequences underway to meet community water demands, tempting us to consider what our true water needs are in face of these consequences.
