This series of photographs of the Colorado river was taken in Baja California, Mexico, when the river meets the ocean. As it is known, the Colorado River is very shallow due to the active use of water from it for agricultural purposes. Environmentalists in the United States and Mexico have long been concerned about this situation. A few years ago, they managed to agree on the opening of the Marelos dam for a shot time to fill the river delta with water. However, now this place looks quite dehydrated.
