2019-03-29 | The Salton Sea is a disaster in the making. California isn’t doing anything to stop it - Los Angeles Times

'San Diego would pay for projects (lining earthen canals, for example) to help the Imperial Valley use water more efficiently. '

'Until recently, lake levels had been sustained by Colorado River water under a 2003 agreement between the Imperial Irrigation District and the San Diego County Water Authority. '

'The water no longer needed in the valley would be exported to San Diego for residential use. '

'Without excess water flushing through valley farmland, however, the runoff that formerly fed the Salton Sea would taper off, so for 15 years the Imperial Irrigation District would use some of its river water to counter evaporation at the lake. '

' That would buy enough time for the state to develop and fund plans for the wetlands and other measures to keep the dust from blowing. '
