A July 2020 news item (written by a lobby group) discussed one method to improve the Sea "to prevent wind spreading toxic dust": refilling it with water imported from the Sea of Cortés; that would require the building of an aqueduct. (A June 9 research report, however, stated that the cost of "transferring water from agricultural users to the Salton Sea" would be lower and achievable using existing infrastructure). The aqueduct proposal, and others, hang on the outcome of a feasibility study expected in late 2021.
