"The state of Utah is not doing enough to save its imperiled Great Salt Lake and stop an impending ecological collapse, according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday by national and western environmental groups.

State lawmakers have recently put hundreds of millions of dollars toward conservation and other water saving rules, but the groups say it amounted to "baby steps.""
