Utah researchers say the Great Salt Lake may end up gaining 6 feet between November and the end of spring, but the lake's long-term future still remains in question.
, Perry said the lake's recovery will likely slow down a bit since the incoming water will fill the whole lake and not just one of its halves in the coming weeks and months.
Perry isn't one of the report's many authors but he also believes many people misinterpreted this study when it was first released. He explains that, yes, it would still be a Great Salt Lake in five years; however, if water consumption trends continued without much change, it wouldn't be recognizable anymore.
"What that has done is that it's reset the clock on the five years," he said. "This wonderful snowpack has bought us 2 to 2½ more years or so in order to help our conservation measure actually start to kick in, so we can start using less water so we can put more water in the lake." In addition, both this year's outlook and the spring 2021 levels are well below May 1 levels over the past decade and the lake's overall 33-year median level, per U.S. Geological Survey data.
If there is a normal snowpack again next winter, which is entirely possible because of the circulation pattern, drier conditions are more likely to return in the years that follow, much like what happened after 2011.

Commentary: We complain, sure. But we should express gratitude when electeds do the right thing.I was surprised and excited when I heard on the news last week that the Central Utah Water Conservancy District was releasing 50 million gallons of water per day from reservoirs for the next few weeks. The water will leave the Jordanelle and Deer Creek reservoirs, flow through the Provo and Jordan Rivers and end up in the Great Salt Lake. Brilliant! Not only will the water start to refill the dangerously low Great Salt Lake, but it will make room in the reservoirs for the snow melt that we know is coming.
