Ahh, whenever I get a little bummed out, I look for stories about ecological restoration. It's a glimmer of hope

Heartbreaking how the West has managed water. The river through here used to be huge, sometimes in the hundred thousands of CFS. It would split off into different smaller streams and come together again (a process known as "braiding"), creating a large lush riparian habitat with one of the most diverse ecosystems on Earth.

It is a happy thought to think that some significant amount of restoration can be achieved. Perhaps a trickle of water may once again reach the Sea of Cortez on a regular basis. Restoring our shared environment is a very hopeful thing for all of us and all those that will follow!

Natives remember what it once was.

No they don’t. No one was alive at its height.

There s/b a permanent flow for the positive environmental effects, at the very least.

The way it should be!

This is so amazing to see that mankind can do more than destroy!

The 1/3 of the water from NGOs (@2:18). It's that USA NGOs or Mexican? Are the water rights purchased from American or Mexican farmers? It sounds like Mexico is doing double of what we're pitching in.

so whats the truth here, that america diverted most of the water for themselves?

@@mariocisneros911 Can you imagine that to the Rhine River? (Switzerland, Germany, Holland). The demise of the Colorado River is the result of US greed and mismanagement.

Vote, you all have democracy vote for snow packs on the mountain tops and vote for more, Just plain old rain water, you people have the power to vote, you know you can vote to change the world, so Go out and vote for water? Ya!!! Right. each person can vote 5 times on one item. That should do it. VOTE.

As a duck hunter from North Dakota I would like to point out our ducks don't go there. Wrong flyway dude.

Did Southeastern Ca. farmers contribute water to this pulse ?, and did the Baja Ca. Indegeounis gentlman ' fisherman' ever get a response from President Obama concerning the Colorado Delta a few years ago?

Nature will win out eventually every day the river basin is slowly back filling itself and clearing that will become unprofitable humans fight a battle but nature will win at some point maybe after we are gone...

There’s not gonna be a Colorado River anymore it’s drying up so fast we’re not even getting enough snow fall in the Rockies to send the water down the Rio Grand the END time are comming

American does everything big, but big isn't always the best way to go,the world's population is going to be the end of civilisation, as we know it ,I know 3 couple's that are friends of mine these 6 people have produced 40 children ,all these children have children of there own about 100 to 120 more children ,,this can not be sustainable, all these people need food and water ,we as a human race are our own worse enemy, and I can't see this being a good thing in a 150 years time ,I'm glad I won't be here then Steve ,,,,,

Yay! Let's squander freshwater by releasing it into the ocean. Sometimes, when a stream does not look like it's flowing, it's simply flowing underground.

It's not squandered it helps migratory birds and helps trees snd plants grow to create new forests. It would just evaporate into the air eventually, anyway.
