The surface of Utah's Great Salt Lake dropped to its lowest recorded level this July.Researchers and politicians are worried about serious threats to animals and people who live near it.The nearby city of Salt Lake City is already facing dust storms.Experts fear these storms, which blow dirt into the air, could get worse.Scientist Kevin Perry has studied the lake for years.He said, "To save the Great Salt Lake, so that we don't become Dust Lake City, is to make a…choice that the lake is valuable and that the lake needs to have water put into it."For years, water that would have gone to the lake has been used for drinking water, industry and agriculture.On July 3, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) said that the surface of the lake fell to the lowest level since records began in 1847.
