TPO 54. The Salton Sea in California is actually a salty inland lake. The level of salt in the lake's water—what scientists call its salinity—has been increasing steadily for years because the lake's water is evaporating faster than it is being replaced by rainfall or rivers. If the trend continues, the lake's water will soon become so salty that the lake will be unable to support fish and bird populations. The lake would then become essentially a dead zone. Fortunately, there are several ways to reverse the trend that is threatening the lake's health.
One option is direct removal of salt from the lake's water in special desalination facilities. Water from the lake would be pumped into the facilities and heated. This would cause the water to evaporate into steam, while salt and other materials dissolved in the water would be left behind. The steam would then be cooled down and returned to the lake as salt-free water. Gradually, the high salt levels would be reduced and the lake’s overall health would be restored.
Another possible solution is to dilute the salt level in the lake with water from the ocean. Since water in the Pacific Ocean is 20 percent less salty than water in the lake, bringing ocean water into the lake would decrease the lake’s salinity. The ocean water could be delivered through pipelines or canals.
Yet another solution would be to control the lake's salinity by constructing walls to divide the lake into several sections. In the smaller sections, salinity would be allowed to increase. However, in the main and largest section, salinity would be reduced and controlled by, among other things, directing all the freshwater from small rivers in the area to flow into that main section of the lake.
both of the reading passage and the lecture argues about how could reduce the level of salt from the lake's water. The author brings up some solutions which are concidered all dubious by the professor. I will explain both aspect and compaire them in the subsequence parageraphs.
First point which is proposed by the reading passage is that the water from the lake's water hited in order to to separate salts from the water. Conversly, the professor find this solution useless due to other chemical component remained in this process, element which are so danger for the human. so the professor disagree with this solution.
Secondly, bringing the ocean water to decrease the salts in the river is not a good opinion as professor said, since it cost for the government alot. She put it in argue that the pipe must be a thausand kilometer which will be so costly.
Finally, the author claims that dividing the lake into the several section will be solve the defect. On the other hand, the professor debate that it can work in the short time but in the long time the process will be stoped due to a geological phenomenon like eathqueke which caused collaps the sections.
