    I worked with a group doing surveys of the Salton Sea a lot of years ago (I work in IT). One of the researchers dropped a ruggedized laptop in the water, it didn’t survive, despite being rated to survive a short dunk. That said, I believe the Salton Sea is considered a critical for migratory birds passing through the area. So, it’s further destruction may run into environmental issues.
