The agreement did not include details about the amount of water the agencies were collectively committing to save, but cities account for about one-fifth of Colorado River water use. The commitment to tear out 30% marks the first time water agencies throughout the region have collectively committed to a numerical benchmark targeting one specific kind of water use. Water agencies in Albuquerque, Las Vegas and Denver are among those who signed.

Lengthy vote counts can frustrate candidates and their supporters, but they don't indicate anything is wrong with the voting or the tallying of ballots. Also in many states, voters who return mail ballots with technical problems have a certain number of days for them to fixed. “A lot of the important work we do for elections happens after Election Day,” said Joseph Kirk, the county’s election supervisor. Lake has criticized Election Day's transformation into what she calls “Election Week” and has not conceded the race. Simply because the counting continues long after Election Day is no reason for alarm, said Ryan Cowley, Utah’s director of elections.

Independent Evan McMullin, an anti-Trump former Republican best known for his longshot 2016 presidential bid, attracted millions in outside spending in his campaign against Lee. Or does the sizeable loss prove that Republicans' vice grip is impenetrable in the short term, no matter the strategy? Though McMullin lost, she said, coalescing behind an independent benefited voters by making the race competitive. To put together a fragile coalition of Democrats, Republicans and independents, McMullin focused closely on threats to democracy. Both Lee and Democrats skeptical of his candidacy criticized McMullin for being unclear on issues such as abortion or infrastructure spending.

WENDOVER, Utah — (AP) — In the Utah desert, a treeless expanse of pristine white salt crystals has long lured daredevil speed racers, filmmakers and social media-obsessed tourists. It's mined from other iconic salt flats, including in Chile, where the thickness is not shrinking in a similar manner. In Utah, after three decades of studies examining the salt flats, nothing has slowed the deterioration. His organization, the Salt Flats Racing Association, is convinced the potash mining company that extracts minerals from the flats is the primary reason that the aquifer is being depleted. ___The story has been updated to correct the name of the Utah agency overseeing a study into the Bonneville Salt Flats.

WENDOVER, Utah — (AP) — In the Utah desert, a treeless expanse of pristine white salt crystals has long lured daredevil speed racers, filmmakers and social media-obsessed tourists. It's mined from other iconic salt flats, including in Chile, where the thickness is not shrinking in a similar manner. In Utah, after three decades of studies examining the salt flats, nothing has slowed the deterioration. His organization, the Salt Flats Racing Association, is convinced the potash mining company that extracts minerals from the flats is the primary reason that the aquifer is being depleted. Though racers insist the answer is obvious, scientists contend that there’s no hard evidence that simply returning briny water will reverse the effects of extraction and maintain the salt flats.

The glistening white salt of the world famous Bonneville Salt Flats is shrinking near the Utah-Nevada line.

In the Utah desert, a treeless expanse of pristine white salt crystals has long lured daredevil speed racers, filmmakers and social media-obsessed tourists. The glistening white terrain of the Bonneville Salt Flats, a remnant of a prehistoric lakebed that is one of the American West’s many other-worldly landscapes, serves as a racetrack for land speed world records and backdrop for movies like “Independence Day” and “The World’s Fastest Indian.” Research has time and again shown that the briny water in the aquifer below the flats is depleting faster than nature can replenish it.

SALT LAKE CITY — (AP) — Tech leaders and Democratic Party-aligned groups are among those funneling millions into Utah to support independent Evan McMullin’s bid to unseat Republican Sen. Mike Lee. The sheer amount of money pouring into the race reflects how McMullin has turned Utah from a political afterthought to a legitimate battleground. McMullin and Lee's campaign have raised $6.9 million and $8.6 million respectively, campaign finance filings published Friday that cover up to Oct. 19 show. Though they're spending heavily on their own campaign ads, consultants and staff, the candidates are receiving boosts from independent expenditure committees that aren't allowed to coordinate with their campaigns. One of the group's ads attacks McMullin's past remarks about Republicans that led to a lawsuit.
