| Water shepherding ensures that water conserved within the Great Salt Lake Basin flows to Great Salt Lake. Measurement infrastructure and distribution accounting models are needed to ensure that water that becomes available through the water rights change application process flows to the lake without being depleted before it gets there. The Great Salt Lake Strike Team analyzed ten policy options and created summaries for each. The strike team does not endorse individual policies but rather evaluated the most-discussed options to address Great Salt Lake. Policy summaries fall into four categories: (1) Water Shepherding, (2) Economic Incentives, (3) Agriculture Optimization, and (4) Engineered Options. |
