Abstract

One of the limiting factors on energy development in the arid American West is the availability of water. Even geothermal development must take into account the hydrologie cycle of the surrounding area. In the Imperial Valley, the bloodstream of the economic body is water and, owing to the nature of the region and its water source, the mineralized Colorado River, the disposal of waste water is of major importance. The Salton Sea is presently the sump for agricultural drainage in that area. Quite incidently, the Sea has become popular for recreational use.
