Great Salt Lake water withdrawals for use in mineral extraction evaporation ponds. This data is part of a study "The Salinity of the Great Salt Lake and its Deep Brine Layer." This study analyzes the lake’s historical salinity and level data record. Its purpose is to better understand the movement and changes of salt in time and space within the lake and evaluate the occurrence and extent of the deep brine layer. Mineral extraction water withdrawals contribute to changes in the salinity of the lake.

Great Salt Lake Mineral Extraction Water Withdrawals
Reported total water use data for years 1988/1989 - 2021 obtained from the Utah Division of Water Rights using the WUSEVIEW Water Records/Use Information Viewer tool, https://waterrights.utah.gov/cgi-bin/wuseview.exe.
The following specific links to mineral extraction water users were used.

USMag (US Magnesium LLC), 1988-2021, https://www.waterrights.utah.gov/cgi-bin/wuseview.exe?Modinfo=Indview&SYSTEM_ID=2101
According to Tripp, 2009, US Magnesium began operations following re-engineering in 1975, but was not operational while it’s pond was breached during the high lake levels of 1986-1990. Water use data prior to 1988 is not available so for the period 1976 to 1985 was taken as a value of 67264 acre-ft per year. This particular value is the average from 1991 to 2011 of USMag water withdrawals from a prior study evaluating the impacts of mineral pond expansions on the GSL, but the water withdrawals used in that study are different from current USMag water withdrawals obtained from the UDWR website.
