Breaking Point: The Disappearing Salton Sea

One of the worst ecological disaster in U.S. history is rapidly approaching, a casualty of the drought and "water wars" in the Southwest. California's largest lake - the Salton Sea in the Sonoran desert - is disappearing.

BREAKING POINT mixes dramatic aerial images of the lake and closeups of its shores with commentary from scientists, government officials and local residents to present the history of the Salton Sea, the missed opportunities that have plagued the Sea for decades, and the current options for saving it, which will likely cost billions of dollars.

Winner of 4 Emmy Awards.
