For more than two weeks, the\u00a0Colorado River<\/a>\u00a0has been\u00a0flowing in its delta<\/a>, through more than 30 miles (48 kilometers) of recently bone-dry river channel choked with desert scrub.\u00a0 The flow is all too brief, lasting only eight weeks in all.\u00a0 The United States and Mexico are demonstrating how a \u201cpulse flow\u201d of water can bring environmental benefits to this long-parched reach of the river.\u00a0 The last 100 miles (160 kilometers) of the Colorado are a critical link in the Pacific Flyway, and new habitat can help the hundreds of species of birds that depend on it.<\/p>\n

But for now, the principal species benefitting from the flow is us.\u00a0 People love this river!<\/p>\n

From the first day the water appeared, the community has come out in droves to see the river.\u00a0 Some older folks are marveling in a sight they thought they would never see again.\u00a0 Parents bring their children \u2013 there\u2019s a whole generation being introduced to the river for the very first time.<\/p>\n
