In the last 35 years, it has lost nearly 3/4 of its volume.

35 years ago was 1987 which was when the Salt Lake recorded some of its highest water levels in recorded history. The volume it had them came after years of abnormally heavy precipitation. If you're gonna compare how much it's lost, compare to the average, not the record high.
