Description:

Abstract:

This dataset presents three potential locations for Enhanced Evaporation System sites at the Salton Sea, as one method of salinity control. This is one of the many alternatives being evaluation as part of a Bureau of Reclamation restoration alternative study conducted in 1999.

Purpose:

This data set was generated for cartographic display of three suggested sites for locating an enhanced evaporation system for the purpose of the restoration of the Salton Sea. These are reviewed as a concept, but not as a site-specific study.

Supplemental_Information:

'The Salton Sea Authority is a joint powers agency chartered by the State of California by a Joint Powers Agreement on June 2, 1993 for the purpose of ensuring the beneficial uses of the Salton Sea. In the agreement, "beneficial use" includes the primary purpose of the Sea as a depository for agricultural drainage, storm water and wastewater flows; for protection of endangered species, fisheries and waterfowl; and for recreational purposes.' Due to rising salinity, period fish die-offs and bird mortality events, the need for a restoration alternative to address these problems was identified. The first agency response was from the US Bureau of Reclamation.

Process_Description:

EES sites were digitized from the Salton Sea Alternatives Draft Preappraisal Report - Sept 1998, available at the <http://www.usbr.gov/lc/region/saltnsea/ssae2.html> website. The data was developed by scanning and rectifying the map view of these three sites, and attributing these sites as to general identification.
