![]() And in more typical years, more precipitation is falling as rain than snow, which means it runs off faster and doesn't recharge underground aquifers as much. And the lower the lake gets, the faster it evaporates. Second, climate change is giving the Salt Lake City area hotter summers, which increases evaporation in the lake. WATER CRISIS NEWS Water levels are going up in the West's massive reservoirs. The Salt Lake City area is one of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the country. The water that should be flowing in is instead being used to grow crops or water lawns. Last year, the lake's surface dropped to a record-low elevation of 4,188 feet above sea level because it's not being recharged by rivers. ![]() In part, because farmers and residents are using more water than ever before, the lake over the past three years has received less than a third of its natural streamflow.

Subscribe to the weekly Climate Point newsletter "I think we need to be really wise how to use this gift." ![]() It doesn't solve the problem but it gives us the breathing room we need to implement comprehensive solutions," said Benjamin Abbott, a professor of ecosystem ecology at Brigham Young University in nearby Provo, Utah. But experts warn this is a temporary easing of what continues to be a long-term drought compounded by overuse of existing water. Melting snow has already lifted water levels in the lake 4 feet from their historic low last fall, compared to only a foot last spring. These days you may find more people missing from these once-useful white pages because fewer people pay for landline service.Watch Video: Decline of the Great Salt Lake in satellite imagesĪ few months after experts shockingly predicted the Great Salt Lake could dry up within five years, Mother Nature dropped an unexpected reprieve: The biggest Utah snowpack in recorded history. And the person must not have paid to be unlisted. Mobile services aren’t as willing to sell such customer data. The person must have landline telephone service with one of the major providers (CenturyLink or Verizon, for example). Read deeper into how your phone number gets into Dexpages from this earlier Tech+ Q&A: The most accurate way to find a person’s phone number and home address? The phone book.Īt Dexpages, you can search for people nationwide by ZIP code to pull up the actual printed white page. I wrote about Dexpages before because CenturyLink, Denver’s major telephone service, also provides its customer data to them. Verizon’s white pages - at /whitepages - take me to, a massive resource of phone numbers. And by searching for “Verizon 411 directory,” that brings us to information about Verizon’s white pages, which - to all the younger folks out there - was the best way to look up residential phone numbers last century. In Maryland’s Harford County, Verizon is the local telephone service provider, according to the county’s official page. If typing in that person’s name and city doesn’t pull up the person, there are more strategic ways to find a number. Of course, hunting for a person’s phone number is a bit challenging online with the wealth of information out there. While you could try dialing 411, which still provides directory assistance for a fee, the old way of life is not coming back. Force yourself to explore the internet, use Google or Bing to search and even consider voice-activated options like Amazon’s Alexa. Q: How do I get a telephone number for a family member? I live in another county that does not list Harford County, Md., telephone numbers and my address book was lost in the move, so I am having real problems since I cannot contact my sons and other family members and friends.
