"One could almost say, then, that the history of the Colorado River contains a metaphor for our time. One could say that the age of great expectations was inaugurated at Hoover Dam—a fifty-year flowering of hopes when all things appeared possible. And one could say that, amid the salt-encrusted sands of the river’s dried-up delta, we began to founder on the Era of Limits" -marc reisner, 1992

It's a misnomer to even call the Colorado river a river anymore. It's now an irrigation canal, fully dammed and controlled. The environment was sacrificed for development.

Thank you for this report and all the work that has gone into habitat restoration. It could not have come a moment too soon as the Salton Sea ecosystem has been decimated since 2017 with the water diversion to San Diego. Please keep us updated.

It would be a good thing to let a little more water flow from the Colorado river to the delta. I know the water is used, but just a little more could make a big difference!
