Glenn Jennifer Pitt 2017 <p><span>Environmental flows have become important tools for restoring rivers and associated riparian ecosystems (</span>Arthington, 2012; Glenn et al., 2017<span>). In March 2014, the United States and Mexico initiated a bold effort in restoration, delivering from Morelos Dam a “pulse flow” of water into the Colorado River in its delta for the purpose of learning about its environmental effects (</span>Flessa et al., 2013; Bark et al., 2016<span>). Specifically, scientists evaluated whether the pulse flow, albeit minuscule&nbsp;compared to historical floods, could provide the ecological functions needed to establish native, flood-dependent vegetation to restore natural habitat along the riparian corridor.</span></p> application/pdf 10.1016/j.ecoleng.2017.05.028 en Elsevier It takes more than water: Restoring the Colorado River Delta article
