Great Salt Lake is collapsing. Will you join the movement to protect our health and home?
An ecosystem in crisis
Saline lakes are drying up around the world. Water overuse can easily destroy these ecosystems, causing long-term damage to health, economy, and culture. The decline of Great Salt Lake is already reducing precipitation, polluting our air, and threatening our water supply.
A new approach
We are at a crossroads with Great Salt Lake. Most of the lake is gone, and our chance to prevent total collapse is rapidly evaporating. At the same time, public awareness and support for bold action are very high. We believe that our community has the values and resources to solve this crisis, but it will take a new approach.
Grow the Flow
Grow the Flow is a citizen-led movement that exists for just one reason: restore the lake we love and depend on. Together, our team of community members, professionals, and lawmakers are unleashing a flood of policy innovation, public engagement, and action-oriented research. The stakes are high, and no one has succeeded before. Will you help us become the first community to turn things around?
