	Colorado River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Colorado River is a river in the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico, approximately 1,450 mi (2,330 km) long, draining a part of the arid regions on the western slope of the Rocky Mountains.
		The lower course of the river, which forms the border between Baja California and Sonora, is essentially a dry stream today due to use of the river as a water source.
		Allocation of the river's water is governed by the Colorado River Compact.
