Mouth of the Colorado River / Colorado River Locks
The Mouth of the Colorado River and the Colorado River Locks/GIWW
projects are closely entwined not only by proximity but also by the
impacts that changes in these projects can have on one another. Variable
environmental conditions such as river discharge rates and tides
complicate the interaction further. While these projects fall under
separate authorities with different regulations, both projects must be
included in any analysis. This has led to some confusion concerning
study purposes, authority, and scope. The following web pages document
the background of both projects, the study progress and describes the
models that have been developed to better understand issues associated
with the projects and the impacts proposed measures will have on the
projects.
