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.
