Dead fish are seen on the shore of the Salton Sea in Bombay Beach, California, Jan. 4, 2014. In March 2012, the California Supreme Court upheld a massive water transfer system that would likely cut off the agricultural runoff that replenishes California's biggest lake, the Salton Sea. If the lake dries up, environmentalists and health advocates fear it will kick up toxic dust laced with selenium and arsenic that could spread across Southern California.
