How is Great Salt Lake used?
to get water and salt combined
Does the Great Salt Lake drain anywhere?
No. It loses water only through evaporation. Very little water runs into the Great Salt Lake because the water is captured in high bank reseviors upstream. The reseviors are deep so they can capture the snow melt in the spring. The water in the reseviors is used for drinking water for the surrounding areas. If this water were to reach the Salt Lake, expensive desalination techniques would have to be used to get the salt out.
What was salt lake citys first name?

How do they get salt for icy roads out of a freshwater lake?
The salt used on icy roads in winter is quarried from underground salt deposits (salt mines), which are the remains of ancient salty seas. Salt is not extracted from fresh water.
Can salt water is used to determine the boiling point of water?
No, salt water cannot be used to accurately determine the boiling point of ultrapure water. Salt water boils at a slightly higher temperature than pure water; salt water can be used to determine the boiling point of salt water.
What is the water in Lake Eyre used for?
It is not often that Lake Eyre has any substantial quantity of water in it. The last time it was nearly full was 1989, and that was from local rain. Alternatively, water from Queensland filters down through the Channel country and into Lake Eyre. The last time this method filled the lake was 1974 to 1976. When it does have water in it, the water gradually dissolves the salt crust and the water becomes more salty than sea water over a period of time, which kills all of the fish, the water then evaporates and redeposits the salt. The expense of building a desalination plant at Lake Eyre, given its remoteness, and the remote chance of there being sufficient water to justify a desalination plant on a regular basis, probably makes it a non-cost effective proposition.
What is a reservior?
A reservoir is an artificial lake used to store water
