Geothermal development and the Salton Sea
The relationship of the Salton Sea, a key element of the Imperial Valley water system, to potential geothermal development in that region is studied. The effects of direct discharge of brines into the Sea are discussed along with the use of Salton Sea water for cooling the geothermal power plants. Methods for controlling the salinity of the Salton Sea are described. (MOW)
