Travel Info Is the Salton Sea in Imperial County, California. Does it has seawater.? Travel Tips Most of it is in Imperial County, but the northern approx. 1/5 in Riverside County. It does NOT have any seawater in it. Its creation began in 1905 when heavy rainfall and snowmelt caused the Colorado River to swell and breach an Imperial Valley dike. It took too years to stop the flooding. As the surface is 200' below sea level, there is no drainage from the "sea." Evaporation is countered by runoff from surrounding irrigated farming communities. Source(s): www.wikipedia.org Other Travel Tips The Salton Sea is highly polluted. Along with pollutants it is also plagued by toxic algae that smells like sulfur for miles around. no, but besides for hunting and farming, why are you going there? |
