摘要: The freshwater discharge of the Colorado River into Gulf California has been reduced to negligible quantities since construction Hoover Dam in 1935. These radical anthropogenic changes hydrography Delta had striking repercussions on both physical and biological processes. Using historical river data, flow dynamics hydrographic patterns before after drastic reduction are studied numerically, using a three-dimensional nonlinear shelf model. results applied assess environmental impact area. Satellite imagery is also used compare our with observed fronts.
