TPO 54 LECTUREThe 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

The reading and the lecture are about a salt increment in the lake, which is posing a major problem, and they both suggest possible solutions. The writer believes that the lake salt can be dealt with and provides three solutions. However, the lecturer contends that all claims made by the author are not realistic and impractical.
First and foremost, the author of the reading states that removing the salt, using facilities to heat the water will maintain the lake's health. Because salt and solid chemical components will be left behind and this will ensure that the lake is salt-free. This idea is challenged by the lecturer. He claims that the solid materials that are dissolved contain many toxic chemical elements, like selenium. Additionally, he points out that these elements are prone to be carried by wind and rise a great risk.
Secondly, the author states that combining seawater with the lake by constructing pipes to transport it, will decrease the increment of salt. The lecturer, however, asserts that the government of that nearby area cannot fund pipeline construction. He goes on to say that the pipes are expensive as well as the constructing process.
Also, the reading passage notes how building walls is necessary for dividing the large and smallest parts, and, that it is, therefore, important for controlling the water flow from other sources. In contrast, the lecturer's stance is that the walls will not be durable for the long term, since there are active geological activities that will result in a collapse of walls.
As you can see, the author and the lecturer hold different views about solutions to prevent increasing salt intake.
