For decades the Colorado River Delta in Mexico had been parched, starved of water by dams far upstream in the American Southwest. All that changed on March 23, when the gates of the Morelos Dam, on the Arizona-Mexico border, were lifted to allow a refreshing “pulse flow” back down the lower Colorado. Here, a local boy enjoys the Colorado River the day after its flow slowly submerged a road across what had been a dry riverbed since the 1990s.
