The Sea Salt production process begins by drawing ocean, sea, or saltwater lake water into large, shallow ponds. After the water is collected in these saltwater evaporation ponds, heat from the sun and exposure to the wind slowly evaporate away the water, allowing pure salt crystals to form naturally.
No one person can save the lake. But there are many small things each of us can do to help. These actions include conserving water, contacting legislators, volunteering to protect land and wildlife, and supporting organizations and events that show the lake's value and contribute to its welfare.
Great Salt Lake is salty because it is a terminal lake, meaning that it does not have an outlet. Four rivers, the Bear, Jordan, Ogden and Weber feed into the lake.
The Jordan, Weber, and Bear rivers flow into the lake and deposit a few million tons of dissolved solids (salts and minerals) in the lake each year. The economic output of Great Salt Lake is $1.9 billion annually, with a total employment of over 7,700 jobs.
A small amount of dissolved salts, leached from the soil and rocks, is deposited in Great Salt Lake every year by rivers that flow into the lake. About two million tons of dissolved salts enter the lake each year by this means.
As rain water and snow melt run down the mountains, minerals and salts are eroded and eventually end up in the Great Salt Lake. Since the lake is a terminal lake, the only way water can leave is through evaporation, leaving the salt and minerals behind. Different parts of the lake are saltier than others.
The Interstate 215/Belt Route provides a bypass and commuter route for the city of Salt Lake City.
Where does Great Salt Lake get its water? Runoff from the Uinta Mountains and the Wasatch Range supplies most water to the lake. The Bear, Weber, and Jordan Rivers empty into the eastern part of Great Salt Lake and supply around 70 percent of the water input into the lake.
