Figure 4. Landsat Image of Colorado Delta region, May, 2014. Most of water in channels is seawater from the Gulf of California. Light blue areas are partly flooded salt flats (wetlands) including the Ciénega de Santa Clara to the northeast of the Colorado delta (see text). In upper right, areas of agriculture in Mexico can be seen, supplied, in part, by Mexico's Colorado River water allocation. The broad tan-colored areas are the Sonoran Desert.
