Mimic pulse-base flows and groundwater in a regulated river in semiarid land: Riparian restoration issues

Summary

River regulation in semiarid lands often results in a dry riverbed, which conducts to serious ecological degradation. Given the numerous hydraulic control structures, in the U.S. area, and the water diversions for consumptive uses, in Mexican territory, nowadays the Colorado River Delta region shows runoff only during wetting years when surplus water is available. Due to concerns related to the ecological health of this Delta, an international agreement (Minute 319) was signed between Mexico and the U.S. in November 2012. This agreement contemplates, among other issues, the release of water for environmental restoration purposes in the Colorado River Delta riparian corridor. The purpose of this study is to propose feasible discharge [...]
