TPO 54

Both of the provided materials are discussing salinity reduction of the Salton Sea. The reading avers how a recent increase in the amount of salt present in the lake's water endangers the lives of fish and birds local to the environment. Then the author provides three possible solutions for this issue. Conversely, the lecture finds these solutions implausible and impractical and opposes each of the author's points.

First, the reading suggests a method of decreasing salinity by exploiting desalination facilities, in which water evaporates and restored to liquid form while leaving the salts behind. However, the professor refutes this point by stating that the salt is not the only remnant of the lake water evaporation. Moreover, the desalination process can cause health problems by releasing selenium, one of the outputs of the process, into the air. This toxic chemical can endanger people's life.

Second, the reading proposes another solution by balancing the lake's water using ocean water. Nonetheless, the lecturer contends that constructing the mentioned pipelines and canals would be a costly affair since the nearest ocean is at least one-hundred kilometres far from the lake. Thus, this construction requires a vast fortune, which most likely cannot be supported by the local government.

Third, the reading states that planning the lake into divisions can be beneficial for the small sections are allowed to get saltier while the central part is lightened using freshwater. Notwithstanding, the lecture disputes this method by mentioning frequent geological activities around the lake. Thus, if an earthquake takes place in the Salton area, those walls will be destructed, and the water from different sections is mixed back together.
