The Salton Sea
On my recent vacation, I was able to read The Salton Sea by Debbie Bentley. I have always found the Salton Sea an interesting and odd place, a man-made accidental giant lake formed in 1905 when the Colorado River broke through its levees and was allowed to fill the Salton Sink (a below-sea-level region near Palm Springs and the Anza-Borrego Desert). For a time in the 1950s, the Salton Sea was a mecca for boating and other watersports activities. It attracted fishermen and bird-watching until it started evaporating as its fresh water supply had been cut off, making the salinity level so high it resulted in fish kills and exposure to the run-off fertilizers in its sediment.
