# Tracker monitors water flow into shrinking Great Salt Lake

A new online tool called Grow the Flow tracks water entering the Great Salt Lake, which has been shrinking due to drought and water diversion. The tracker provides real-time data on river flows and lake levels, aiming to inform conservation efforts. This matters because the lake’s decline threatens wildlife, air quality, and local ecosystems.

**Importance:** 3/5
