More on Colorado River
Description from Wikipedia:
The Colorado River ('Aha Kwahwat in Mojave), or the Red River, is a river in the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico, approximately 2330 km long, draining a part of the arid regions on the western slope of the Rocky Mountains. The natural course of the river flows from 25 km north of Grand Lake, Colorado into the Gulf of California, but the heavy use of the river as an irrigation source for the Imperial Valley has desiccated the lower course of the river in Mexico such that it no longer consistently reaches the sea.
The Colorado River drains 629100 km2. Total flows of the river range from 113 m3/s in droughts to 28000 m3/s in severe floods. With the construction of massive power dams on the lower course of the river, flows of over 2000 m3/s are unusual. The mean flow of the river was 620 m3/s during the period between 1903-34. From 1951-80, the average flow was less than 110 m3/s. Historically the flow was much higher before water usage began in the basin.
