The terraformers get it wrong again. For background there is a recent item 
in Science:

Kaiser, J. 1999. Battle over a dying sea.— Science, 284 (2 April) :28-30.

Also a web page:
http://www.sci.sdsu.edu/salton/SaltonSeaHomePage.html

However that is a minor problem compared with the scale of the Aral Sea 
disaster:  

Stone, R. 1999. Coming to grips with the Aral Sea's grim legacy.— 
Science, 284 (2 April) :30-33.
