The Salton Sea: Canals are a solution

Posted by: Aqua Blog Maven on June 22, 2008 at 5:14 pm

From MyDesert.com:

Most people with an interest in the Salton Sea and who remember what it was like in the 1950s and ’60s would like to see it truly restored to what it used to be, a major fishing and water recreational area attracting more visitors than Yosemite.

An engineering firm, CRM Inc., did a study and put forth a proposal in 2005 to truly restore the sea to its former beauty with clean water and a stable shoreline.

This would be accomplished by a canal from the Gulf of Mexico to bring clean ocean water to the sea and another canal to remove more salty water to the gulf. The CRM proposal is explained in detail in a posting on mydesert.com. I urge interested readers to read the proposal and, if you find it plausible and preferable to other proposals, contact your legislators to urge them to give it consideration.

A clean Salton Sea with a stable shoreline would be a tremendous asset that would benefit residents and property owners in the area as well as the fish and birds.

I tried to search MyDesert.com to read the posting he mentions above, but couldn’t find it. However, plenty of Salton Sea canals & pipelines in the Aquafornia Salton Sea archives (click here). And of course, let’s not forget the Salton Sea Channel plan.
