The Alamo River (Spanish: Río Álamo) flows west and north from the Mexicali Valley (Baja California) across the Imperial Valley (California). The 52-mile-long (84 km) river drains into the Salton Sea. The New River, Alamo River, and the Salton Sea of the 21st century started in autumn 1904, when the Colorado River, swollen by seasonal rainfall and snow-melt, flowed through a series of three human-engineered openings in the recently constructed levee bank of the Alamo Canal. The resulting flood poured down the canal and breached an Imperial Valley dike. The sudden influx of water and the lack of any drainage from the basin resulted in the formation of the Salton Sea; the rivers had re-created a great inland sea in an area that it had frequently inundated before, the Salton Sink.

  • El río Álamo es un río que fluye al oeste y norte del valle de Mexicali en Baja California haste el valle Imperial en California. Drena en el lago Saltón. La creación del río Nuevo, río Álamo y el lago Saltón de hoy en día, comenzó en el otoño de 1904, cuando fuertes aguaceros y nieve derretida hicieron que el río Colorado se desbordara e inundara el canal del Álamo. La inundación hizo que el canal se desbordara y rompiera el dique del Valle Imperial. El intempestivo flujo de agua y la falta de drenaje de la cuenca terminaron con la creación del lago de Saltón, recreando un gran lago interior en un área que se inundaba con frecuencia en el pasado. Hicieron falta dos años para controlar la corriente del río Colorado y detener las inundaciones, pero se logró represar el río para el año 1907 (es)
