Essay topics:

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 article and lecture ,both the are discussing the steady increase in salinity of salton sea in California and several ways to reverse the process of salinity in viseversa.The author notes that it is alarming to bird and fish population since sea cants support them due to high level of salinity

To begin with the author states that here are possible ways against it ,he claims that direct removal of salt from the lake water by special technique like pumbing into desalination facilities and heated and thus can seperate salt content and water. But lecturer challenges his claim by sataing that it sounds unrealistic . On the otherhand it will lead to several enviornmental problems such as dissolution of toxic chemical like selenium which got extract along withsolid salt into the enviornment by breeze.He state that it will cause serious health issues.

Secondly author suggests that diluting high saline water with 20 times less saline Pacific ocean water brings reduce salinity of the Salton sea. On the other hand lecturer possits this argument by stating that government will not able to find resources to construct pipe lines for such a long distance.

Finally author of the article presenting the third idea of constructing walls to divide lakes to several parts with different sizes from small to large sections where salinity will be allowed to increase in smaller sections and in larger sections it will be controlled by several methods .However lecturer rebuts this by mentionng that even a first earthquake can collapse this walls and we cant rely on them at any cost.
