Memorable Quote

  • Danny Parker - "Tom Van Allen got his revenge. Good for Tom. And Danny Parker? He got gut-shot for being a lowlife rat. That sucks for him. As far I'm concerned, they're both dead. So who is this guy? Tell you the truth, I still dont know. But I like his chances. I really like his chances"

Salton Sea - definition of Salton Sea in Encyclopedia (842 words)
The Salton Sea is an inland saline lake, located in the Sonoran Desert in Southern California north of the Imperial Valley.
The Sea is fed by the New, Whitewater, and Alamo rivers, as well as a number of minor agricultural drainage paths and creeks.
However, the lack of an outlet means that the Salton Sea is increasingly becoming an unstable system; variations in agricultural runoff caused fluctuations in water level (and flooding of surrounding communities in the 1950-60s), and the high salinity of the agricultural runoff feeding the Sea has resulting in an ever-increasing level of salinity.
