It is a remnant of the vast Pleistocene freshwater lake, Lake Bonneville, which once covered much of the region. The lake's salinity fluctuates dramatically based on precipitation and [diversion rates](/entries/wate…

   Water Level Fluctuations and Conservation
   Water level management remains the most critical environmental challenge facing the GSL/). Water diversions for agricultural and municipal use, combined with natural climatic variability, cause the lake level to oscillate widely. When the level drops significantly, vast tracts of the lakebed become exposed, revealing ancient, mineral-rich […

3. Sierra Nevada

   Linked via "water diversion"

   The range has held profound spiritual significance for indigenous populations[^67] for millennia. Its mineral wealth[^68] later attracted large-scale European-American settlement[^69] during the mid-19th century Gold Rushes[^70].
   Modern human impact is dominated by water diversion[^71] and recreation[^72]. The construction of the extensive [hydroelectric infrastructure](/entries/hydroe…
