The Salton Sea was formed in 1905 when the Colorado River breached an irrigation canal and flooded the Salton Sink, a low-lying area in California's Imperial Valley. The floodwaters created a large, saline lake, which initially attracted recreational activities and development. Over time, the water level fluctuated due to evaporation and agricultural runoff, leading to increasing salinity and environmental challenges. Today, the Salton Sea is a unique ecosystem that faces ecological and economic issues.
