According to KUER, both have declined significantly since the 1980s, their ecosystems are struggling to survive and miles of lakebed remain exposed.KUER reporter Saige Miller, KSL-TV reporter Alex Cabrero, KSL-TV videographer John Wilson, and Deseret News photographer Kristin Murphy spent several days reporting on how the communities around that lake are dealing with dust storms, and why agencies have decided against piping water as a solution.
