The reading and the lecture are both about stopping an increase of salt in Salton Sea. The author of the reading feels that it can be solved by several ways. The lecturer challenges the claims made by the author. She is of the opinion that all the solutions suggested are not applicable.
To begin with, the author argues that salt can be removed from the lake. The article mentions that water can be pumped out and heated, than the precipitation will left behind, but water will be placed to the lake. This specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. She claims that precipitation may include hazardous chemicals. Additionally, she says that wind will spread around these chemicals, which can lead to negative consequences.
Secondly, passage suggests the lake salt can be diluted with ocean water. The lecturer, however, rebuts this by mentioning high expenses necessary for building of channels and pipelines to conduct water from lake till ocean. She elaborates on this by bringing up the point that because of big distance of 100 kilometers from lake to Atlantic ocean constructions will require much money, so this solution is inapplicable.
Finally, the author posits that lake can be divided into sections and regulated separately. Moreover, it is stated that this act will help to balance the salinity of the water. In contrast, the lecturer’s position is that this option is unlikely to work. She notes that area where lake is located endure geological processes which will destroy wall after first time.
