Another thing to consider is that Utah is constantly going in and out of drought cycles (http://kutv.com/news/local/great-salt-lake-levels-at-50-year-low). Even though we’re currently not in a drought, thanks to last years winter, this last summer may have shaken the water numbers because of how hot and dry it was, especially in Northern Utah (http://www.sltrib.com/news/environment/2017/09/08/september-weather-will-make-or-break-utahs-water-prospects-forecasters-arent-optimistic/). There is a worry that if this trend continues through fall, Utah could end the water year with below normal numbers, and that’s with all the snow pack that we gathered last winter. It could bring us back into a drought (http://www.sltrib.com/news/environment/2017/09/08/september-weather-will-make-or-break-utahs-water-prospects-forecasters-arent-optimistic/). The fact that Utah consumes more water per capita than other states (http://le.utah.gov/audit/15_01rpt.pdf) is alarming enough. I agree with user2327 that if there’s enough education and enforcement on water conservancy, it could save a good amount of water, and help the public during times of drought.
