Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they respond to the specific concerns presented in the reading passage.
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.
According to the reading, The author states that the level of salt in the Salton Sea lake in California increases with time due to continuous water evaporation from the leak without being replaced by rainfall or rivers. The author mentioned some possible solutions in the reading passage. However, the professor states that it is a good idea to stop this phenomena, but he didn't agree with those solutions mentioned on the reading passage.
First the reading states that salt can be removed by special desalination facilities. water would be evaporated into steam and salt would left behind and steam then cooled down and returned to the lake. The professor refutes this point by stating that this technique will leave some dangerous material like salinume which cause serious problem if people inhaled it.
Second, the reading claims that one possible solution is dilute the salt level in the lake with water from the ocean. the professor avers this point by stating that the ocean located 100 km away from the lake. he pointed out that pipe constructions need more resources that can't be afforded by the government.
Third the article averse that wall constrictions would be control the lake salinity by dividing the lake into several sections. the main large section will have low salinity due to fresh water directing from small rivers. the professor posits this point by stating that this is temporary solution and couldn't be for long period. he states that if earth quick happened, it will destroys the walls.
