Title: Deep Uncertainty: the pot we are all stewing in 

Abstract: The drought chorus is playing on for another year. Many of us are tired of this all too familiar tune like that pop song played on the radio for the thousandth time. The last twenty-plus years have us continuing to ask questions about the water supply (in the natural and managed system), demand, impacts on Great Salt Lake and what the future will hold. While many have worked in this space for decades, there is an unsettling deep uncertainty of what will be. The good news is we are on this journey together.
