Natural wetlands cover a portion of the Salton Sea's eastern shoreline just south of Bombay Beach, October 19, 2019. Imperial County is the No. 1 producer of salt in California. The salt is not produced for commercial use; it is stored in the Salton Sea as a waste product. The salt is a fundamental waste product from farming in the Imperial Irrigation District. Every 15 minutes, 100 tons of salt is delivered to the Salton Sea. Nearly 10,000 tons of salt is delivered every day of the year in a watery solution by the Alamo River and the New River.
