Fish and Wildlife Habitat
The multi-benefit project will implement water-based dust control measures, which will also provide additional shoreline bird habitat and vegetation-based dust control. Water use efficiency will be improved by rerouting of relatively fresh drain water, which currently flows to the Sea, for use on both current and future exposed playa.
