Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they respond to the specific concerns presented in the reading passage.
The reading passage provides three methods to reduce the salinity of the Salton Sea. However, the professor claims that the ways stated in the passage are not realistic or practical and refutes each of them using the following points.
First, she argues that if we take out salt using desalination facilities, the lake's salinity would decrease, but it would cause some new problems. the water would be pumped and evaporated and as a result, it leaves behind some solid materials in addition to salt. Some of these solid materials would pose health risks because they contain toxic chemicals such as Selenium which would be dangerous in case of breathing.
Second, the speaker points out that although bringing water from the ocean would decrease the lake's salinity, it requires long pipelines and channels. The ocean is one hundred kilometers away and the local goverment does not have enough resources to support the plan. The piplines would be too expensive to build.
Third, the lecturer mentions that walls are unlikely to work long because the region experiences frequent and sometimes intensive geological activities such as earthquakes. According to the professor, if for example an earthquake occurs, walls will be destroyed and collapse. Therefore, water with high salinity will be mixed with water with low salinity.
