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.
The reading and lecture discuss the ways used to decrease the salinity of water in salton see which is in inland lake. the reading gives these three methods. however, the lecture dispute that it's not a great idea maybe it would be realistic and practical desalination would present a serious problem that dissolves in the water.
First of all, the reading article claims that it is the direct removal of salt from the lake's water in special desalination facilities. while, the speaker notes that it causes a serious problem there is other types of chemical which is very toxic it will harm people's health by saying solid material that lives behind toxic like selenium may be people inhale that it will affect their health.
Secondly, the reading passage states that dilute the salt level in the lake with water from the ocean. on the other hand, the professor points out that required building pipelines and canals. these major constructions require huge financial resources and will be expensive as the ocean is 100 kilometers away.
Finally, the reading text suggests that it would be to control the salinity of the lake by constructing walls to divide the lake into several sections. in contrast, the divide the section unlike to work as long sometimes intense. For instance, an earthquake will cause a collapse of walls and later it will be remixed again.
