The Salton Sea is a endorheic lake, meaning it takes in water but does not drain. The lake is located at the lowest point in the Salton Sink, situated in The Colorado Desert. It is below sea level, the deepest part of The Salton Sea is less than 2 meters higher than the lowest point in The Death Valley. The sea was created in 1905 by a flood from The Colorado River, currently fed by 3 rivers and agricultural runoff, which causes a balance between no lake and current water levels.
In the past it has cycled between these two states, sometimes there would be a freshwater lakes of one or more. There are the remains of native american stone fish trap where there is no water today. Currently the salinity is now greater than the Ocean yet less than the Great Salt Lake in Utah
