Talk:Imperial Valley

Imperial Valley and Salton Sea Basin

Is there any distinction? Aren't they simply two names for the same thing? Or...??? Tmangray 01:36, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Two answer your question the Imperial Valley applies to a valley located fulley within American borders while the SSB would apply to the basin that encompasses both regions in Mexico and the US border area. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SoCal L.A.

The Imperial Valley can be considered the lower portion of the Coachella Valley topographically, "rebranded" in the early 1900s for land development purposes. It is a geographic and cultural designation. The Salton Sink or Salton Trough (Salton Sea Basin) is a geologic and watershed designation of an endorheic basin, with an endorheic lake of the saline lake type - the Salton Sea; located in the Southern Mojave-Salton region of the Great Basin. cheers----Look2See1 t a l k → 21:35, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Map request

This article could use a locator map, and perhaps a map showing major features on top of the satellite photo. -- Beland (talk) 19:09, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Severe Article Improvements

As you may have noticed i completely redid the whole article giving it categories images and new information. I made it at least 4 times as long. Hopefully more people can add to it though! SoCal L.A. (talk) 09:21, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

This article needs a section on education. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SoCal L.A. (talk • contribs) 00:00, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Anza-Borrego Correction

• Removed the Red-diamond Rattlesnake from list of fauna that occurs in the Imperial County section of the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. The snake does occur in Anza-Borrego, but its eastern range ends at the desert slopes of the Peninsular Range in San Diego County, far from the San Diego County and Imperial County line.98.176.233.118 (talk) 02:29, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Redirect

Imperial Valley redirects to this page (Imperial Valley (California)). Because there seems to be no need for a disambiguous page, is it necessary to add the '(California)' to the article's title? If not, the article should be moved to 'Imperial Valley' and the current title should redirect there. --Credema (talk) 17:01, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

I have made the change. --Credema (talk) 22:06, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

Data contradiction

The statement "Agriculture accounts for one-fourth of jobs" contradict with the statement " Agriculture is the largest industry in the Imperial Valley and accounts for 48% of all employment". אביהו (talk) 10:32, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

Renewable energy should be updated

That section use as reference an article from 2009. A lot happened since then and two companies mentioned in this section (Stirling Energy Systems and CalEnergy) are out of business. The present ("is currently building one of the world's largest solar thermal plants") is now a past. The plant (Imperial Valley Solar Farm) was built but was switched to Photovoltaic power station and the CalEnergy facility is now operated by BHE Renewables. אביהו (talk) 15:06, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

Imperial Valley, California → Imperial Valley – This is a geographic article that needs no disambiguation. The current title makes it appear to be a community. While this is partially true, the current title is confusing and out of sync with almost all other valleys in California Fettlemap (talk) 19:33, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
