Una vez, el Delta del Río Colorado era compuesto de más de dos millones de acres de humedales prósperas y vías fluviales que se extiendían desde el extremo suroeste de los EE.UU. al Golfo de California en México.

But in the last half century, the imbalance between the human needs all over the basin and the natural output of the delta has reduced the river to a weak trickle.
