Abstract

This describes work on the calculation of Great Salt Lake (GSL) inflows for modeling and analyses in support of declining lake levels. This derives from the procedures of USGS 00-4221 (Loving et al., 2000) who estimated GSL streamflow inputs for 12 years from 1987-1998, and Mohammed ant Tarboton (2012), who modeled GSL levels for 1950-2010 water years. Some deviations from the methods given in USGS 00-4221 (Loving et al., 2000) were necessary due to limited availability of data for the extended period and where there were opportunities for improvement.
