Salton Lake science and the 1880s desert flood events
Mr Durbrow manager of Salton Evaporation Works in California discussed lake phenomena with Lt Finley of the Signal Service in San Francisco. A new blue print map shows water routes from the Gulf of California via Yuma Algadones and a ridge below Salton, now breached. Water formed two lakes and a channel to Salton basin, expanding surface to about 300 square miles. Evaporation at the lake is ongoing at about one inch daily, removing roughly 5.5 million gallons per day, enough water for San Francisco for 250 days. Salt crust soaking, cloudburst effects, and doubt about rainmaking are noted, with humidity and dew-point considerations reducing the likelihood of cloud formation near the lake.
