Salton Sea: California Inland Lake From Colorado River Plan
Charles A Byers of Los Angeles argues in Popular Science Monthly for diverting the Colorado River to form a Salton Sea spanning 17000 square miles from Volcano Lake Mexico to Indio California. The lake would reach 280 feet deep, be fed by irrigation canals near Yuma, overflow to the Gulf of California, submerge towns and railroad lines, and allow ships to reach inland ports along the Sierra Madre foothills, with completion decades away.
