@voltaman33The salton sea is not man made, wiki, wiki, wiki!!! HURRICANES,COLORADO RIVER FLOOD,THEN A FEW YEARS LATER...LEVEES BUILT TO FIX FLOOD. That about sums it up.
However, seeing as how human beings are native to the planet, is a lake created accidentally by humans such a long time ago any more unnatural than, say, elephants going to one spot to die, or a swarm of locusts, or any of the other acts by native creatures that change the world around us? I'm not saying we should make free to rape the land, but how long after an accidental lake-ing do we let go say, "Meh, I guess that's a lake now." California has more than enough ugly desert left.
I still don't get it. Okay, the lake looks beautiful, with the birds and light mist, but how could anyone stand to vacation there, ever, when they had to suffer the view of California desert every time they turned around? I can't believe that ever looked any better.
Even though it was man-made, it still was beautiful. Of course man interferring with nature usually ends up like this. A dried up ghost town. This video was beautiful towards then end when all those birds flew towards the center of the sea gave me chills.
I have heard conflicting info of how the sea was made. Thanks though that is always good to get other perspectives.

@robertmartinez The accident was created by nature,ie hurricanes that caused the flooding of the Colorado river and in turn,created the salton sea.
