The {{convert|52|mi|km|adj=mid|-long}}[1] river drains into the Salton Sea. The New River, Alamo River, and 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.[4] 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. It took slightly less than two years (Mar 1905 to Feb 10, 1907) [5] to control the Colorado River’s inflow to the Alamo Canal and stop the uncontrolled flooding of the Salton Sink, but the canal was effectively channelized with operational headgates by the early part of 1907. The Alamo and New Rivers continued to flow, but at a lesser rate.[6] The river was named after the Spanish name for the Fremont cottonwood that grows in the region.[7] In most places, the river is a vegetation-choked ravine with a small watercourse at the bottom. The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment has issued a safe eating [https://oehha.ca.gov/advisories/alamo-river advisory] based on mercury, DDTs, PCBs, and selenium.[8] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.waterboards.ca.gov/rwqcb7/water_issues/programs/tmdl/docs/alamo/aslt5_6.pdf|title=Silt Total Maximum Daily Load for the Alamo River|publisher=California Environmental Protection Agency|work=State Water Resources Control Board|date=May 1999|accessdate=2013-07-30}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://wdr.water.usgs.gov/wy2012/pdfs/10254730.2012.pdf|title=USGS Gage #10254730 on the Alamo River near Niland, CA|publisher=U.S. Geological Survey|work=National Water Information System|year=2013|accessdate=30 July 2013}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://wdr.water.usgs.gov/wy2012/pdfs/10254730.2012.pdf|title=USGS Gage #10254730 on the Alamo River near Niland, CA|publisher=U.S. Geological Survey|work=National Water Information System|year=2013|accessdate=30 July 2013}} 4. ^{{cite book|title=Irrigation in Imperial Valley, California: its problems and possibilities|year=1908|publisher=Washington Government Printing Office|isbn=978-1-113-10178-5|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ngMOAAAAYAAJ&dq=pilot%20knob%20imperial%20canal%20intake&pg=PA51#v=onepage&q=pilot%20knob%20imperial%20canal%20intake&f=false|author=Clarence Everett Tait|accessdate=26 August 2010|pages=13, 51}} 5. ^{{cite web|last=Kennan|first=George|title=The Salton Sea - An Accounting of Harriman's Fight with the Colorado River|pages=39 and 87|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=mAAOAAAAYAAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=george+kennan+fight&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjroKSphfrZAhWj0YMKHZxWA0oQ6AEIPzAE#v=onepage&q=george%20kennan%20fight&f=false|publisher=The MacMillan Company|accessdate=18 Mar 2018|date=1 January 1917}} 6. ^{{cite web|last=Laflin|first=Pat|title=THE SALTON SEA CALIFORNIA'S OVERLOOKED TREASURE|pages=21–26|url=http://www.saltonsea.ca.gov/ltnav/library_content/Hydrology/cal_orverlooked_treasure_lafin.pdf|publisher=Coachella Valley Historical Society|accessdate=1 June 2010|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20101118210143/http://www.saltonsea.ca.gov/ltnav/library_content/Hydrology/cal_orverlooked_treasure_lafin.pdf|archivedate=18 November 2010}} 7. ^{{cite book|author1=William Bright|author2=Erwin Gustav Gudde|title=1500 California place names: their origin and meaning|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=CET4QodMZysC|accessdate=20 January 2012|date=30 November 1998|publisher=University of California Press|isbn=978-0-520-21271-8|page=12}} 8. ^{{Cite news|url=https://oehha.ca.gov/advisories/alamo-river|title=Alamo River|last=Pham|first=Huyen Tran|date=2016-10-28|work=OEHHA|access-date=2018-06-11|language=en}} See also
