520    One of the worst ecological disaster in U.S. history is 
       rapidly approaching, a casualty of the drought and "water 
       wars" in the Southwest. California's largest lake - the 
       Salton Sea in the Sonoran desert - is disappearing. As 
       Breaking Point reveals, large swaths of lake bed are 
       already exposed and salt levels drastically increased due 
       to mandated water transfers to metropolitan areas along 
       the California coast and other factors that limit water 
       inflow. If no action is taken in the next few years, 
       rising salinity will cause the deaths of 100 million fish,
       eliminating the main food source for hundreds of species 
       of migratory birds -- the second-greatest diversity of 
       bird species in the United States. The National Audubon 
       Society considers the Salton Sea a bird site of global 
       significance. There would also be substantial human 
       impact. After years of agricultural runoff into the Sea, 
       the lakebed is toxic, with high levels of arsenic, 
       selenium and traces of the pesticide DDT. As the lake 
       recedes, massive toxic dust storms will threaten the 
       health of millions of people living in surrounding 
       communities, including as far away as Los Angeles. 
       Breaking Point mixes dramatic aerial images of the lake 
       and close-ups of its shores with commentary from 
       scientists, government officials and local residents to 
       present the history of the Salton Sea, the missed 
       opportunities that have plagued the Sea for decades, and 
       the current options for saving it, which will likely cost 
       billions of dollars. The Salton Sea has reached its 
       breaking point, and time is running out.
