Salton Sea, California: The Salton Sea is the largest lake in California (360 square miles). The ecological problems facing the Salton Sea, mainly the deposition of agricultural chemicals and rising salinity levels, are due to the fact that it is a closed basin. Water only leaves the sea by evaporation, leaving the salt and chemicals behind.
