• As California farms use less Colorado River water, worries grow over sh

    Almost a century ago an engineer proposed piping water from the Sea of
    Cortez into the Salton Sea to save it. He proposed using the piped in
    salt water to generate electricity and claimed that a bigger inland sea
    would cool the desert and end inversion layers over coastal cities,
    eliminating smog and turning barren mountains into verdant forests.
    Don't expect corrupt politicians or deep state bureaucrats to make bold decisions to save the Salton Sea. All they care about is more migrant invaders, war, DEI and LGBTQ.

    It was 111 degrees when Mark McBroom stepped from his air-conditioned
    pickup and onto a dry alfalfa field. Remnants of desiccated hay crunched underfoot, and the sun-baked soil was fragmented with deep cracks.

    McBroom and other Imperial Valley farmers agreed to leave many hay
    fields unwatered for seven weeks this year in exchange for cash payments
    from a federally funded program designed to alleviate the water shortage
    on the Colorado River.

    Many farmers decided that the payments — $300 per acre-foot of water conserved — would pencil out for them this year, in part because hay
    prices have recently fallen.

    “Most of the farming community felt like our water is worth a lot more
    than that, but we wanted to help,” McBroom said. “We want to be good neighbors.”

    But while the three-year deal is helping to save water in the river's reservoirs, some people in the Imperial Valley say they're concerned
    it's also accelerating the decline of the Salton Sea and worsening environmental problems along its retreating shores.

    With less water running off fields and into the sea, growing stretches
    of dry lakebed are being exposed to desert winds that kick up
    lung-damaging dust. At the same time, the lake is growing saltier as it shrinks, bringing changes to a habitat that is a vital stopover for
    migratory birds.
