With respect to the article "Drying into oblivion?" may I recommend a little book "Drat! Mythed Again" by Steve Warren? According to Warren, the Great Salt Lake drying was predicted by Grove Karl Gilbert, a geologist, in 1890, by Scientific American in 1904 and by many lake watchers in 1966.
I have to assume professor Daniel Bedford wasn't around in 1985 when the lake level hit historical highs. We were raising the freeways and a huge pumping plant was being built to pump water into the western desert.
What has changed to guarantee that won't happen again?
