Why is it that weather people are making a big deal about the level of the Great Salt Lake because of the drought?

It isn't as though they can use that water for anything the way Lake Mead is used.

People only care because they've heard of it. Same with lake mead, but that is of far more consequence. This inspired me to look at some of the local resoviors here in Oregon and they are all shockingly low. Basically 90% at less than 50% and a startling number in the single digits.
