The Great Salt Lake Basin Integrated Plan synthesizes information, literature and data across the watershed related to water quantity and quality, water use, water demand, surface and groundwater diversions, depletions and return flows.
Appendix J of the Work Plan identified many critical studies that will support development of the final integrated plan and build foundations for future water management decision making. The status and links to the studies, as they are complete, are listed below.
