I agree with you that the main point of the essay is about the effects of increase in water level of Salt lake. I don't like too many numbers in an essay so it was boring for me to read those but I understood its importance later and appreciate that she provided physical explanations to give a better understanding. But she could have used lesser number of numbers to make her point more effective or should have used them after her short stories.
