Interesting, I had to read up on that. Could you elaborate how that is related to that though and what makes it a bad idea in particular? From what I just read up on, the Salton Sea over the millennia would periodically flood, become a small lake or dry out to desert levels. The change that occurred was that humanity changed the rhythm of this artificially to a 'flood it' state for a prolonged period of time. They are now complaining that when they changed it to the 'small lake' state again, well, shrinking lakes create a certain situation. The problem I do see is really the way the 'flood' state was created and other usages of the lake. Runoff from agriculture with way too much fertilizer, waste dumping etc. and now they wonder why the dust is toxic and stinks. How would that apply to flooding the Sahara w/ sea water perpetually?
