TPO 54. 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 author of reading, belive that Salton Sea in California going to be salty, and as soon as the lack could not support the livestaks. The author provide 3 solution for handling it. however, the speaker refutes each reason.
the author cliams that, we can remove salt from lake by using desalination facilities. on the other hand the speaker explains it is not a good idea. The lecturere states that removing salt from lake cause many bigger problem. When the salt degree of lack reduce and water of lake evaporate, there will remain other type of sedimates. this sedimates will have chemical interaction and make toxid. this toxid is very dangerous for health. So, she believe that it is not a good idea.
The passage state that we can bring water from oceans to solve this problem, but the speaker contents this opinion, and explains this idea is expensive, and need many resource. she continue, A local government do not have this amout of mony to build and maintenance of puplines adn canals.
The author suggests that we can build some walls in lake. however, the speaker reject this idea by saying that wall will be destroyed after while. it need expense frequently. The lecturer state that if the wall distroy, eveythings will be like past.
