Re “Salton Sea Sticking Point in Water Deal,” April 14: It seems hard to believe the simplest of answers has eluded all these water engineers. The Salton Sea is below sea level. The Pacific Ocean is at sea level. Set a 24-inch pipe on a gentle slope from one to the other and let nature (gravity) do the rest. Salinity is not a problem here.
