The Salton Sea is 230 feet below sea-level. Locks would be necessary to negotiate the difference. Obtaining a "right-of-way" for the 68 miles from the Border would be lengthy & expensive. The salt, however, can be mined for Lithium! Visit the salton sea on facebook and see what a lot of us are doing. All the best, John Mackey
- logfromblammo 11y agoIf someone were to buy out the residents of Mexicali, Imperial, Indio, Brawley, El Centro, Coachella, etc. the area could nearly fill to the ancient extent of Blake Sea/Lake Cahuilla, and a canal would need no locks. Aside from the buyout compensation, actual construction of a canal suitable for international shipping vessels would probably be only about $5 billion. As most people every remotely familiar with politics might guess, the technical challenges are not even remotely the most difficult obstacles to be overcome for such a project.
