Report from S&T Project 22066: Recent Advancements in Selenium Treatment Technologies and Application to Playa Wetlands
Final S&T Report from the S&T Project 22066. This literature review evaluates selenium removal technologies and their
feasibility for the Salton Sea, using a decision matrix to compare effectiveness, cost, and ecological impact. This report discusses
integrated approaches combining new technologies with management practices to mitigate selenium risks throughout the Salton
Sea agricultural and playa wetland system. Key findings suggest a multi-faceted approach may effectively reduce selenium
hazards for wildlife, emphasizing the importance of stakeholder engagement in implementing these methods.
