In 2012, a historic water sharing agreement was reached between the U.S and Mexico that paves the way for restoring flows to the lower Colorado River and its delta, with the promise of restored flows someday supporting thousands of acres of wetland and river habitat, enhancing the rich estuary near the mouth of the river and reconnecting the river with the sea. BEF, working with Pronatura Noroeste, the Colorado River Delta Water Trust and National Geographic, has supported an initial WRC pilot project that will restore approximately 39 million gallons per year to help restore critically dewatered areas of the Delta.
