@EveryDay Let me instruct you with facts: There IS ag runoff, want pictures? THAT and the extremely polluted New River are the only feeds into the Mistake Lake now. They are adding concentrated pollutants to the already highly polluted lake. Another fact: Fine particles blow across the newly exposed playa (and the desert surrounding) without mechanical contact from RVs. The wind whips up the top layer. Yes, asbestos is a concern.....but it is in very low levels. The pollutants and metals (naturally occurring selenium) are a direct concern. The area of concern (downwind) is too gigantic to make off limits with barbed wire - hell - we get resistance with a wall on our border! Young children and breathing impaired individuals should already be out of downwind areas. To remain is child abuse. People more for health reasons and weather reasons all the time. The state owes these people nothing. By the way, there are no indigenous fish or critters in that water.....they were all added in over the years. And it was more than salt killing off the life in the lake - the agricultural runoff fed the algae that overgrew and sucked all the oxygen out of the water. Then it cycles and dies off and decomposes - creating that horrible smell. It keeps repeating this cycle. That is why this lake is already termed dead, cannot be saved and must be dried up. We don't add water to a polluted lake.

If the lake is low in elevation lower than nearby Colorado river a pipe can be run from the river to the lake with a ram pump on the end sending some of the water into the lake and some of the water upwards to a greater height which then can be released to a spot some distance away through gravity. The spot can be somewhere where water is needed possibly for agriculture where without the water agriculture would not be possible. A ram pump does not use any electricity and maintenance is minimal. The cost to build is very inexpensive. Great video as usual.

A wind pump can be installed on the other end of the lake sending the water somewhere else. Another hose can be run from the river to the lake increasing flow acting like a siphon that never stops flowing. Some of the water in the lake can be run into a solar water distiller removing the salts out of the water and releasing the distilled water back into the lake. The wind pump and solar distiller have no moving parts so very little maintenance is needed and they use renewable energy keeping costs down.

Doing a coast-to-coast road trip before heading back to Aus, and I was just at the Salton Sea the other day. I got chatting with locals at Bombay Beach, that was an experience in itself, but what an interesting place and story it has.

The abandoned buildings remind me heavily of the scenery in Fallout 3, 4, and New Vegas.

Sandy Shores in GTA V.

Those mud "volcano`s" are also underwater in a few places. One time I watched my brother pull three nice corvina from above a muddy water boil of a mud pot. It was weird.

I love you. Well done video. Smart video with a great story of truth about the Salton Sea. Thank you. Peace and God bless you.

I was there, 20 years ago, right on the shore line, and it really stunk and the water was coffee brown. And that's sad, because there IS something magical about that place, and that magic is the humidity and the tropical feeling, right by the beach. it's very hot, and bone dry, everywhere around the lake, but at the lake itself, it feels very tropical, even though it's not in the tropics.

Why do KZread commenters always ask stupid questions? what next? "what shirt are you wearing?" like just enjoy the dn video

The video misses at least 2 important issues. The silt at the bottom of the lake contains salts and metals which would be harmful to human health if the Salton Sea goes dry. The dust of that silt would blow around the entire region and even into Los Angeles. Already kids who live in the vicinity of the Sea have much higher asthma rates than kids in other areas do. So to avoid a public health hazard, the Sea should be preserved. The second issue is the cost of remediation. There have been engineering studies which created a plan (or several) to bring fresh water into the Sea, but that requires a source of fresh water where it's already in shortage, energy to run the pumps, and a lot of money to build and maintain the system. No one has come up with the money. Meanwhile, the salinity keeps getting higher. Right now, tilapia are the only fish that can survive there. In a year or 2, not even they will survive.

I wonder if the surrounding land is fertile enough to be forested as well? If people could introduce some plant species that could survive that environment, maybe it would help stabilize the area. That's a big maybe though, and lord knows how much it costs.

5:52 "In the absence of our caring things tend towards disorder, things naturaly fall apart. And i feel like if we dont do anything the result is going to be messy and ugly." In my opinion we shpuld take the complete opposite lesson from this. Although it is true that nature always increases entropie in every system all by itself, the result is in my opinion not messy and ugly. The increadible diversity we can see everywhere, from looking at the smallest of details through a microscope, to the nature around us up to the mindblowing, never the same, reaches of the universe we can see when looking into a telescope are the direct result of entropie. If we leave the lake be it will become more beautiful than we could ever make it. Maybe it will dry up first, but it will be back eventually. And every step untill then will be filled with detailes and beautiful views.

@picketf

2 жыл бұрын

It will definately dry up and it will not return. The increase in salinity is due to agricultural run off so the amount of salt there now would never match the natural levels the plains had before. That amount of salt is making life impossible and because the salt deposit contains polutants it will never be harvested either. It's destined to dry up and remain lifeless. There was a time in the past when this could have been reverted and the evaporation would not have been the end of the lake as you say, it could return possibly at some time in the future. But that window has now been closed and there is no future, no life and no redemption for Salton Sea - even if it were to be flooded again.

@movelikejaeger1914

@@picketf in the close future maybe not. Some time in the past that piece of land was freshly spat out lava, reeking of sulfer and contaminated with heavy metals. It took nothing but time for it to change completely and it will change again. If we dont use it as a nuclear waste dump humans have no chance of changing it permanently. Nature works on diffrent time spans than we are used to.

"What we do matters" I think I'm going to ponder on that one. Sometimes I feel that I'm so insignificant that whatever I do would not change anything.

Dankie/ Merci for this video. Same here in South Africa. I sometimes visit places that had a hay day but it is now dead. High Noon near Villiersdorp, near Cape Town is so. In the mid to late 1970's ppl in buses will visit this place.. To day it is part of farms. What was there is now all gone... Even the American Family who once owned the property has left. The old road boards is still there... Thanks.
