	Colorado River Delta \| brief introduction
		The native people and environments of the Colorado River delta were much different before the damming of the Colorado River, which drains 244,000 square miles (1/12 the size of the lower 48 states) and divides the region as no other, being the most legislated, litigated, and debated river in the world (Pitt, 2001; Luecke, 2000).
		Another fish in the delta on the endangered species list is the desert pupfish (Cyprinodon macularius) (Zengel and Glenn, 1996; Varela-Romero et al., 1998; Nagler et al., 2000).
		The riparian corridor of the lower Colorado River was historically a mixture of gallery forest habitat (cottonwood and willow trees) interspersed with backwater wetlands (dominated by cattail and other emergent plant species).

	Environmental Defense - The Colorado River Delta
		On the map the Delta was bisected by the river, but in fact the river was nowhere and everywhere, for he could not decide which of a hundred green lagoons offered the most pleasant and least speedy path to the Gulf.
		Even in its diminished state, the delta continues to provide the most important wetland habitat in the southwestern desert of North America and more native riparian habitat than on the rest of the lower Colorado River.
		The positive effects this water has had on an otherwise beleaguered and forgotten, but highly capable ecosystem suggest the water should be committed to the region, where it is invaluable to a host of plants and wildlife and to the continued way of life of the native peoples.

		The Town Marshal in Delta in those early times had so little law enforcement work to do that, by ordinance, he was also responsible for the maintenance of the city streets.
