| The Salton Sea is a quasi-marine terminal lake, originally formed by accidental flooding of the Colorado River nearly 100 years ago, now largely sustained by agricultural runoff. Sediment grab samples were collected from 11 diverse sites in the Salton Sea in July 1998, and chemical data from these samples are used, along with historical aqueous data from the two major rivers, to ascertain the fundamental behavior of nutrients and selenium, important contaminants in the basin and the Sea. |
