	Fall Of The Alamo - 1836
		The San Antonio River, which, properly speaking, is a large rivulet, divided the town from the Alamo, the former on the west side and the latter on the east.
		The Alamo village, a small suburb of San Antonio, was south of the fort, or Mission, as it was originally called, which bore the same name.
		They both had their headquarters at the Alamo, where their men were quartered, and there must have been a tacit understanding on both sides that conflict of authority should as far as possible be avoided.

	Colorado River Basin RWQCB: Introduction to New River
		The present day channel of the New River was created in 1905-07 when the Colorado River washed out diversionary works, and the entire Colorado River flow coursed into the Salton Basin creating the New and Alamo River channels and the present Salton Sea, thus the name "new" river.
		In the early fifties, the odor of the river near the boundary, particularly at night, was oftentimes overpowering.
		Monitoring data indicate the New River is polluted by bacteria, silt, nutrients (e.g., nitrate and phosphate), and volatile organic constituents.
