The Lower Colorado River and the Salton Basin
Early in 1905 it became apparent to the engineers of the United States Reclamation Service that the Colorado River would change its low-water course; that it would thereafter send its low-water flow and a part of its flood volume inland into the Salton Basin instead of oceanward into the Gulf of California. Ever since that time the Reclamation Service has been an interested observer of the progress made by the canal people (whose operations are responsible for the change of the river's course) in their efforts to curb the river. The observations of the Reclamation Service engineers have been extended also to the changes which have been taking place along the new watercourse.
