The passage and the professor discuss the problem of consistent increasing salinity in the Salton Sea in California. The passage suggests three methods to deal with the problem. However, the professor rules out all of them through some explanations.
First, the reading claims that the problem would be resolved by using the desalination facilities. On the other hand, the professor states that the suggested method isn’t suitable because it will create other serious problems. As she continues, in the water of the sea not only salt is present but also other toxic substances such as selenium are present too. As a result, through evaporating the water in the suggested method some portion of selenium will convey into the air and thereby, the serious problem will create with the people’s health through breathing the polluted air.
Second, the passage believes that dilute salty water of the sea with the less salty water of the Pacific Ocean can be a good solution for the problem. By contrast, the professor thinks that constructing such extensive pipelines or canals from the ocean is so expensive because the ocean is far away in a 100 Km distance. Therefore, it isn’t a practical solution to the problem.
Third, the passage expresses that separating the sea into smaller portions by building walls and managing a smaller portion than the whole of the sea will solve the problem. However, the professor declares that building such walls isn’t appropriate for that area. It’s because the area is active geologically. Consequently, the walls might collapse due to the major earthquakes and the water of the salty portion would seep into the managed portion in turn. Thus, it is not a good method to deal with the problem.
