In 1905, the Colorado River broke through an irrigation project and created the Salton Sea. This sea is saltier than the ocean. Levees and canals form terraces between seasonally flooded ponds and fields. There are also roads throughout the area. Abundant waterfowl and shorebirds can be found here. Also found here is the endangered desert pupfish.
