so While it is true that there either was no dams or minimal damming of
the Colorado, the river was redirected, through the all american canal for the
purpose of irrigating the imperial valley. Unusually heavy rains caused
the canal to breach, thus filling the Salton Sea. I do find it laughable
that groups like the Sierra Club are so intent on saving one of the most
polluted man made habitats in the world. I think that they would be better
in allowing the lake to dissappear.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>Yeah, they damed the Colorado, backed it up to a fault and the
