| | When you go to dip your toe in the Salton Sea, it pays to be picky. | | | Millions of years ago, during the Pliocene epoch, the area of today's Salton Sea was salt water and formed the northern tip of the Gulf of California. | | | I figure I owe the Salton Sea that much, since it's mostly my beloved beach town that's begun to suck the lake dry. |

| | The Salton Sea (Now You "Sea" It -- Now You Don't) |
| | The salinity of Salton Lake was so great that the New Liverpool Salt Company established a facility to produce a fine quality of table salt from the water. | | | In the latter half of the 19th century, the Salton Trough was completely dry, or nearly so. | | | To this body of water was given the name "Salton Lake." The name was derived from the high saline content of the lake. |

| | It was a long trek to the Salton Sea for them, but they had fond memories of breakfasting on freshly caught fish and watching gorgeous sunsets from their camp by the shore. | | | As farmers develop better methods of water conservation, the amount of freshwater flowing into the Salton Sea will likely diminish, which will mean less dilution of the salt. | | | The increasing salt content has begun to affect reproduction in fish: corvina and croaker don't reproduce in waters with more than 45 parts per thousand (ppt) salt. |

| | A CANAL TO SAVE THE SALTON SEA |
| | Instead of "saving" it with some dubious method of dumping more saltwater into it, which would concentrate the salt and other materials in it (and allow production of salt laced with the selenium and other hazardous materials you mention), we should be looking at returning that land to its original form, as a desert. | | | These worms are in turn eaten by the fish who serve as food for higher life forms - including people. | | | When 2 million fish, mostly tilapia, died on August 27-28, the shoreline quickly became a putrefying, malodorous mass of carcasses rotting in 120 degree heat and 75 percent humidity. |

| | Much has been reported in various news media in recent months on the condition of the Salton Sea, especially in relation to the plight of the birds and the fish that inhabit that body of water. | | | The shallowing will produce a rise in temperature of the Sea and this will facilitate the dissolving of a greater mass of salt and, at the same time, produce an accelerated rate of evaporation. | | | This indicates that over 1 million acre-feet of water are annually being evaporated from the Sea. |
