The greater part of the Salton Sink is submerged under (highly polluted) water.

Other possible subdivisions include tribal lands, the Colorado River communities, and the Salton Sink.

This area in here is called the Salton Sink.

After construction of these irrigation canals, the Salton Sink became fertile for a time, allowing farmers to plant crops.

It was formed in the middle of a desert from 1905 to 1907 when the Colorado River burst through irrigation barriers, flooding the Salton Sink.

In early 1905, heavy floods destroyed the headworks of the canal and water began to flow uncontrolled down the canal towards the Salton Sink.

These flowed west to the vicinity of Alamo Mucho then north, to the Salton Sink.

In 1884 and 1891 the Colorado River had escapement flow into the Salton Sink.

Sometimes the river flowed into the Gulf of California, as it does today; other times it turned westward toward the Salton Sink.

Each time the Salton Sink received the river flow, a large freshwater lake called Lake Cahuilla formed.
