Water Released from the Morelos Dam

Caption

On March 23, 2014, water was released from the Morelos Dam on the US-Mexico border, as part of the "Minute 319" agreement. Researchers studying the effects of the 105,000-acre-foot flow, using Landsat 8 and other tools, saw a resulting "green-up" of the lower Colorado River Delta.
