Great Salt Lake Tracker article posted on Grow the Flow website
GrowthEflow Utah has launched “LakeTracker,” an online platform that provides real-time data on water levels, temperature, and quality for the state’s major reservoirs. The service aggregates inputs from state agencies, satellite observations, and on‑site sensors, presenting the information through an interactive map and downloadable datasets. Designed for policymakers, researchers, and the public, the tool aims to improve transparency around water resource management amid ongoing drought conditions in the Intermountain West.
Developers of LakeTracker highlighted its capacity to alert users to significant fluctuations, support irrigation planning, and aid in ecological monitoring. The platform also integrates historical trends, allowing comparisons across seasons and years. Early feedback from environmental groups and municipal water managers has been positive, with users noting the ease of access and the potential for more informed decision‑making. The launch coincides with heightened scrutiny of water allocation policies and a broader push for data‑driven approaches to address regional water scarcity.
GrowthEflow Utah expects the tracker to become a central hub for water‑related data, encouraging community engagement and fostering collaborative solutions to the state’s water challenges. Ongoing updates and expanded sensor networks are planned for the coming year, positioning LakeTracker as a long‑term resource for sustainable water management in Utah.
