A study conducted in Utah reveals that the region is experiencing a new "dust on snow regime." Darkened snow melted 17 days earlier than usual in the winter of 2022. This rapid runoff poses problems for water supply systems and ski industries, and also increases the risk of wildfires as drying forests become more susceptible. The Great Salt Lake, which is largely impacted by human activity, has become a significant source of dust pollution. The study emphasizes the need for policymakers to take action to protect the lake and address the associated challenges.
Utah's reservoir system is in a much better place with summer around the corner than last year, as what's left of the state's record-breaking snowpack continues to melt.
Utah's record snowpack led to the distribution of over 2 million sandbags to prevent flooding similar to that in 1983. However, the snowmelt process went smoothly, avoiding significant flooding.
Local governments are now allowing residents to keep the sandbags for personal use or providing drop-off locations. Dumping sandbags into bodies of water or trash bins is discouraged.
