Saw a joke theory saying that why Real Housewives of SLC has gotten so crazy recently is that the salt lake drying up has increased heavy metal content in the air and lowering IQ in the region.

The dead sea is even more concerning imo. Such an incredible history and unique ecology being lost so rapidly. It's the deepest hypersaline lake in the world but it's being drained at an appalling rate

Real life lore did a great video about it recently. It’s inevitable at current water usage.
