"SALT LAKE CITY, Utah -- For a long time, the lake that lends its name to this city was taken for granted by most here and treated as a sewer by some of the nation's biggest polluters.

The lake is afflicted with all the problems facing lakes in the American West, including misguided water management schemes, historic drought and climate change."
