The Salton Sea in California is facing a problem that the salinity has been increasing for the rapid evaporation rate. The reading passage has given three solutions while the listening part reveals the leak of them one by one.
The first option is to remove the salt directly from the lake's water by a special desalination facility. However, the professor argues that this method is very likely to cause health problems. As the water in the desalination facilities evaporates, solid materials would be left behind, which contain toxic chemicals, such as selenium. Then, separating would allow these chemicals to be spread by wind, which may pose a threat to people's health.
The second solution is bringing ocean water to the lake to dilute the salt level. The professor finds faults with this method by saying that this solution would be quite unrealistic in consideration that the government may not have enough money to build any pipelines or canals. Moreover, the nearest shoreline is 100 kilometers away, so the construction may cost a lot of money.
The last way is to divide the lake into several sections by building walls. The salinity in smaller sections would increase while in largest sections, by directing fresh water from small rivers, the salinity would be controlled. However, the professor refutes that this measure is just provisional, since the Salton Seas is located in place where the geological activities are frequent and intense. Water from the smaller sections may mix back in the main section so this solution will also fail very soon.
Both the reading passage and the lecture disscuss the increase in salinity of Salton Sea in California and the possible solution to overcome the problem. With this in mind, the writer astates that there are several solutions which can lead to recover the lake's health. On the other hand, the professor contradicts all three episodes of arguments, beliving that none of them are practical.
First, the author points out that remove the salt from the lake's water through desalination equipment would be one way to reduce the amount of the salt in the lake's water. Conversely, the speaker makes it clear that this solution may cause some serious problems, for instance, in order to do this some chemical materials should be added to the water. she continues that, some of these materials are toxic and if it release to air, it could make some health problem for people.
second, the reading selection holds the view that bring water from Pecific ocean and add into the lake is the second solution to reduce the salinity of the lake's water. However, the lecturer explains that this idea need to make a lone way channel because, Pacific ocean is 1000 kilometer far away from lake. Therefore, this idea need a huge financial resources from government which is not reasonable.
Finally, the writing material suggests that divided lake into several different part to control the lake's salinity is another solution to overcome this issue. In this fashion the lake will be seperated by wall. On the other hand, the professor mentions that this solution unlikely to work for long time. some natural events for instance, earthquake can broke the wall and as a result the low salinity water will be mixed with high salinity water. So, she says this solution does not going to work in long run.
