Existing Infrastructure A great deal of data and infrastructure exist within the Great Salt Lake Basin and provide a rich context for water related research. The existing infrastructure, coupled with the extensive list of past and ongoing research within the basin, provide a means to evaluate the additional infrastructure required to tackle the imposing knowledge gaps regarding the volumes, fluxes, and residence times of water in the various compartments of the mountain-basin system.

TRACTABILITY.
The Great Salt Lake Basin is tractable—the major attributes of the basin can be captured with relatively low-density monitoring to the west of the Great Salt Lake and more concentrated hydrologic and atmospheric monitoring to the east.
