Yet, nearly everyone in Salt Lake City appears to be watering their (extremely large, extremely green) lawn like there's an infinite source of water. 🤔

I'm pretty sure the monthly water budget for the typical residential lawns I saw being watered there last week exceeds the yearly usage of my entire household in California.
Walking through the neighborhood, most with vast green lawns, except 1 single house with a brown lawn and a sign from slowtheflow.org 
Satellite moisture index over some of Utah's suburban neighborhoods... dense, dense blue. (because of those lawns)
Parts of Salt Lake City, UT vs. Simi Valley, CA (Sentinel-2 #satellite, Moisture Index).
Conversation overheard in a plane about the Great Salt Lake/water situation: "Oh, I think we'll fill the Great Salt Lake again by piping water from the Pacific Ocean, I hear they are already working on that." 🙄
